Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain and cool before crumbling.

Beat room temperature butter with maple syrup in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, and salt. Make a well in the center.

Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture on low speed until just combined. Fold in crumbled bacon.

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Shape dough into small balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment, 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
