I inadvertently bought some. I _thought_ I was buying store brand Pecan Sandies. How do you screw up shortbread? It’s got the most basic ingredients. And how do you make it taste like bacon? They even smell bacony. My dog is happy, he’s got some new treats. ---

Are you, uh, sure they were intended for human consumption, **hillbilly?** If not, that’s a mean trick to put them on the cookie aisle. ---

I like savory shortbread. Cheese is yummy, and I’d probably like bacon, too. It’s just a shock if you’re expecting something sweet. That’s happened to me before, and when I figured out it was supposed to be cheesy, not sweet, it was good. Mmmmmmmm…shortbread…drool. ---

Yeah, it was a shock. Plus they were still sweet with the bacon taste. ---

Am I the only one who finds the thought of bacon-flavoured shortbread revolting? I mean, it’s flaky baked pastry. That tastes like _bacon_. Grossssss. ---

Hey, I’ve got a recipe for bacon-flavoured cookies. I call 'em “cheese bickies” because I can’t remember the recipe’s real name. They’re like shortbread: flour, butter, but a lot of grated sharp cheddar cheese and real, not the gross fake, bacon bits. They’re intoxicatingly delicious. From now on, though, they’re going to be called BACON COOKIES. ---

> [@MagicEyes](#): > > It’s just a shock if you’re expecting something sweet. That’s happened to me before, and when I figured out it was supposed to be cheesy, not sweet, it was good. If you ever wanted to give someone a real taste shock, drop a single M&M into their bag of Skittles (or vice versa) when they’re gone. Sit back and watch the reaction. Whee! I’m so mean. Especially since I hate when that happens, too. Bacon flavoured shortbread… ugh. Then again, I’m not fond of bacon flavoured anything, since it leaves a nasty aftertaste. Real bacon is fine. Gassy bacon aftertaste, not so much. ---

**Savannah** those sound yummy. I don’t dislike bacon, but I had my heart set on Pecan Sandies. And they just had a suggestion of pecans. ---

I’ve put bacon bits in peanut butter cookies. Very yummy.
