So last year's BBQ cookoff at Finn's I made these really delicious BBQ pork cupcakes. They were mindblowing in that crazy sweet and salty bbq porky kind of way and one of my favorite creations that I kind of pieced together from here and there. Since they won the cookoff last year, I felt like it would be cheating if I brought them again this year. So I set out to think up some other bbq-y desserts when I stumbled upon this lovely post from Big Butz BBQ Sauce on shortbread cookies with bacon and bbq sauce.

They sounded pretty dang cool so I incorporated the idea into my go-to shortbread recipe and I feel like the end result was a pretty cool bacony bbq cookie--salty and sweet and crumbly in your mouth deliciousness.
