Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- In large bowl, stir to combine plant butter, sugars, vanilla, vinegar, and apple butter until smooth.
- Place oats in food processor; pulse 'chop' until oats resemble a slightly course flour. Place oat flour in medium bowl.
- Place 30 potato chips in food processor; pulse 'chop' to turn into crumbs. Add to bowl with oat flour.
- Place 1 cup pretzels in food processor; pulse 'chop' until the mixture is a combination of small crumbs and pretzel powder. Add to bowl with oat flour.
- To bowl with oat flour mixture, whisk in baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt until combined.
- Add oat flour mixture to bowl with plant butter mixture; stir well to combine.
- Stir in cranberries and 3/4 cup chocolate chips.
- Break up remaining 15 potato chips into smaller pieces and add to bowl with cookie dough mixture, followed by remaining 1/2 cup of pretzels broken into 1/2-inch pieces. Stir gently to combine.
- Using a #24 cookie scoop, scoop and space cookie dough at least 2-inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake on middle rack of oven for 12-14 minutes, or until golden. Cool 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
- Place remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds; stir. Continue heating in microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring afterwards, until just melted and smooth.
- Use spoon or fork to drizzle melted chocolate over cookie tops. Use remaining 1/2 tsp salt to sprinkle over cookie tops before chocolate sets. Makes 24 cookies.
Notes
A #24 cookie scoop holds 2.67 tablespoons of cookie dough. If you don't already own one, it is a terrific baking tool to own. The all-metal ones with a spring-loaded handle are the best ones to buy, and can be purchased for around $10-$15. Allow chocolate to set completely before storing cookies in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
