- Store the cookies in an airtight container if there are any left to store!
EditWarnings
- Make sure people know that there is bacon in the cookies before they try them. People assume cookies are sweet and won't contain meat. Be sure to warn people who refrain from eating meat or pork for religious, health or any other reason.
