Canna Cookies

To make cannabis-infused cookies, you'll first need to prepare cannabis-infused butter or oil (commonly referred to as "cannabutter" or "canna oil"). Here's a basic recipe for cannabis-infused butter, followed by instructions for making canna cookies:

Ingredients for Cannabutter:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

• 1/4 ounce (7 grams) of ground cannabis flower (adjust amount based on desired potency)

• Water

Instructions for Making Cannabutter:

• Decarboxylate your cannabis: Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread the ground cannabis evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30-40 minutes. This process activates the THC in the cannabis, making it psychoactive when consumed.

• In a saucepan, combine the butter and enough water to cover the butter.

• Add the decarboxylated cannabis to the saucepan and simmer over low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Do not let the mixture come to a boil.

• After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly.

• Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a container, pressing on the cannabis to extract all the liquid.

• Refrigerate the cannabutter until it solidifies. Discard any remaining water.

Ingredients for Canna Cookies:

• 1 cup cannabutter (room temperature)

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 cups chocolate chips or desired mix-ins

Instructions for Making Canna Cookies:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cannabutter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

• Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

• Fold in the chocolate chips or desired mix-ins.

• Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Enjoy your homemade cannabis-infused cookies responsibly, and remember to start with a small portion to gauge potency before consuming more.
