2. In a mixer, beat butter with brown sugar for 4 minutes. Add salt, eggs and maple extract. Slowly add in flour, baking soda and baking powder. Fold in bacon and chocolate chips.
3. Scoop by large tablespoons onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake in a 375u0b0F oven for 10-12 minutes. Allow to sit on pan 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.
