Coat the bacon with light brown sugar, using hands or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly.

Place the cookie sheet in the oven and set the temperature to 350°F (175°C).

Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes, checking for desired crispiness.

Remove the bacon from the oven when done and let it cool slightly on the cookie sheet.
