Ingredients:
-
2 cups (8 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
-
2 cups granulated sugar
-
1 cup (2 3/4 ounces) unsweetened cocoa powder
-
¼ cup Cannabis-Infused Olive Oil (see our recipe here)
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
4 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
-
1 cup (3 1/2 ounces) powdered sugar
-
30 mini chocolate-covered pretzels (about 2 1/2 ounces)
-
Cooking spray
Dough Prep phase:
-
Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
-
Beat sugar, cocoa powder and both types of oil in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-low until evenly moistened and mixture resembles wet sand, about 1 minute.
-
With mixer on medium-low, add eggs, one at a time, beating until well combined after each addition, stopping to scrape sides of bowl as needed.
-
Stir in vanilla bean paste.
-
With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture.
-
Beat until well combined, 30 to 45 seconds, stopping to scrape sides of bowl as needed. Cover and chill dough at least 2 hours (or up to 2 days).
Cookie Prep Phase:
-
Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper (or work in batches with 1 or 2 baking sheets).
-
Place powdered sugar in a small shallow bowl.
-
Spray a 1 3/4-inch cookie scoop with cooking spray; scoop dough and drop a ball into the powdered sugar and roll to generously coat.
-
Transfer dough ball to a baking sheet.
-
Press a pretzel into the center of the dough ball, gently flattening to form a 2-inch disc.
-
Repeat with remaining dough, powdered sugar and pretzels, spraying scoop with cooking spray as needed and spacing dough discs at least 1 ½ inches apart.
-
Freeze dough discs, uncovered, on baking sheets for at least 10 minutes (or up to 1 hour).
Baking Phase:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Bake cookies in batches in preheated oven until puffy and just set, about 12 minutes for soft and fudgy cookies or 14 minutes for a firmer, cake-like texture.
-
Let cookies cool completely on baking sheets, about 30 minutes.
Storage:
-
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
