What you'll need

  • Food processor — Blends cracker dough and energy bar bases in seconds — hard to do by hand.
  • Silicone baking mat — Roll cracker dough directly on the mat, then bake — nothing sticks, no mess.
  • Rolling pin — Roll crackers and cookie dough to an even, thin thickness for uniform baking.
  • Kitchen scale — Snack recipes — especially bars and crackers — are far more consistent by weight than volume.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine organic peanut butter, honey, maple syrup, and egg. Beat until smooth.
  3. Whisk together whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  4. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed. Fold in optional cranberries or chocolate chips if using.
  5. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are golden brown at the edges and slightly set in the center. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, sandwich each cookie with 3-quarters of a dark chocolate chip. Press gently together.
  8. Repeat with all cookies; store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
