I added a cup of cranberries to the mix will alter next time by adding a little more bacon but overall turned out great.

2 cups unsalted butter, melted
2 cups light brown sugar packed lightly
3 cups granulated sugar, divided
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
2 cups Texas pecan pieces
12 ounces bacon, cooked crisp and roughly chopped
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
4 cups regular corn flakes
1/8 cup cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large mixing bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, 2 cups granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Fold in oatmeal, pecans and bacon. Add flour, salt and baking powder, mixing well. Add corn flakes and mix until combined evenly. Do not over mix.
Drop onto parchment paper. Flatten each into circles.
Mix cinnamon and remaining sugar. Sprinkle atop each cookie. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are set but not crunchy.
