SQUEE. Major SQUEE. Happy dance, while wearing a party hat and dancing with the cat SQUEE. This week there are just so many yummy recipes that make me want to “slap my momma.” Sorry Mom, you know what I mean. I promise no slapping. Just check out these dishes, and tell me you don’t have to wipe the drool off the side of your mouth. SQUEE.

Applewood Bacon Shortbread Cookies from Sprinkle Bakes are just over the top. Shortbread cookies in the shape of bacon, with the appearance of bacon, all that’s missing is the real bacon. Hmmm…how about squishing a crispy slice of bacon between two of these cookies? Yes. Oh yes. Oh hell yes.
