Understanding Cannabis Butter and Oil
To make cannabis cookies, you’ll need an infused fat source — either cannabis butter (cannabutter) or cannabis oil.
Cannabutter (Cannabis-Infused Butter): Made by simmering ground cannabis in regular butter, allowing the fat to absorb cannabinoids.
Cannabis Oil: A versatile alternative using coconut or vegetable oil instead of butter.
Both options work well for baking, so choose based on your preference.
Essential Ingredients and Tools
Ingredients:
½ cup (1 stick) of cannabutter (or cannabis-infused oil)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips (or other add-ins)
Tools:
Mixing bowls
Hand mixer or whisk
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Measuring cups and spoons
Cooling rack
Step-by-Step Cannabis Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cannabutter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add Egg and Vanilla
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, blending well.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined.
Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently mix in chocolate chips or any other desired add-ins into your cookie dough.
Step 6: Scoop and Shape
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form small dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Step 7: Bake the Cookies
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
Step 8: Cool and Enjoy
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Flavor Variations and Add-Ins
Want to customize your cookies? Try these fun variations:
Peanut Butter Cookies: Replace chocolate chips with peanut butter chips.
Oatmeal Raisin: Substitute half the flour with oats and add raisins.
Nutty Cookies: Mix in chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
Spiced Cookies: Add cinnamon and nutmeg for a warm, cozy flavor.
How Long Do Cannabis Cookies Take to Kick In?
Edibles take longer to kick in than smoking — expect effects 30 minutes to 2 hours after consumption. Since edibles metabolize differently, start with a small portion and wait before having more.
