Storage Instructions

Alternate Infusion Options
As with all things edibles, there is more than one way to infuse something.
Below we will explore how you could infuse these powerful little treats with your favorite secret ingredient.
- Cannabutter: This is the most popular way to infuse. You can buy my Bliss cannabutter or make your own with a: stovetop, crockpot, Instant Pot, kief, or CBD. You can adjust the amount of cannabutter used alongside regular butter to control your dose if needed.
- Cannabis oil: Coconut oil is a popular staple recipe essential for every kitchen; however, using liquid oils, like MCT oil or olive oil, may negatively affect the final product.
- Cannabis sugar: You can make these cookies with cannabis sugar if you have some. Simply swap the infused sugar for white sugar.
- Both: You could use infused oil or butter and infused sugar for an extra potent batch of cookies.
- Concentrates and extracts: Easily make these cookies with concentrates like distillate or FECO. Just be sure to check if your concentrate needs to be decarbed first. Then, simply mix the concentrate with ½ cup of normal butter or organic coconut oil, and then prepare the recipe according to the instructions below with your butter mixture.
- Tincture: if you want to use an alcohol tincture in this recipe, be sure to evaporate the alcohol and make FECO first.
- Decarbed Flower: You can add decarbed flower or decarbed kief right into the flour mixture. Just be mindful of adding the right dose for you, especially if you are not a regular consumer of edibles.
Notes and Expert Tips
- Baking note: All ovens bake at different temperatures, and 9 minutes is the average baking time. Some ovens will bake quicker, so check your cookies for your desired doneness between 7-10 minutes. Bake time will also depend on the size of your dough balls. Small balls will bake faster than larger ones. Adjust accordingly to find your perfect texture.
- Edibles can be potent: If you have never had edibles before, it is essential to note that they will likely affect you differently than smoking, tinctures, lotions, or other methods. Your experience may also differ if you use an Indica or Sativa strain.
- Edibles have a delayed onset: Edibles take 30 minutes to several hours to hit and can last 6-12 hours, so don’t reach for that second helping so quickly! You want to make sure your high time is a good time 🙂 If you accidentally get too high, check out these solutions here.
- Be safe: When it comes to cannabis edibles, please, start low and go SLOW! Your experience will be entirely dependent on your own endocannabinoid system.
- Be prepared: Learn how to easily make the staple recipes needed to infuse this recipe, like cannabutter and cannabis sugar, with my Cannabis Cookbook.
- Gift mindfully: these great-tasting cookies make great gifts for a holiday party or special occasion. Just be mindful of the amount of THC you add to your edible recipes if you give them away.

First time ever cooking with cannabis and these cookies turned out amazing! Better than ‘regular’ cookies I’ve baked.
I made these for my partner to assist with his multiple sclerosis, he loves them, they do the trick to calm his nerves and allow him a restful night.
Trying the peanut butter cookies now !
We made our own Cannabutter for these cookies
Hi Katrina. It’s fantastic to hear that your cookies turned out so well and are even better than your ‘regular’ cookies. It’s heartwarming to know that they brought relief and relaxation to your partner with multiple sclerosis. I hope your peanut butter cookies are just as good! Happy baking!
Hi there,
can i still cook these cookies at a lower temp say 170C (338F) as i’ve read that higher temps can result in loss of cannabinoids?
do you know if that is a concern at all or are we talking minuscule losses anyway?
Regards,
Josh
Hi Josh, thanks for your thoughtful question. Yes, you’re correct in noting that higher temperatures can lead to the degradation of cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. However, it’s important to understand that this doesn’t mean all cannabinoids instantly evaporate or degrade once these temperatures are reached. It’s a gradual process, so cooking at a slightly higher temperature for a short period of time won’t result in significant losses. Also, remember that the internal temperature of your cookies will be lower than the oven temperature and will take time to rise, further reducing potential cannabinoid loss. For a more detailed explanation on cooking temperatures and their effects on cannabinoids, check out this great resource: Temperature to Bake Edibles. Happy baking, and please reach out if you have any other questions!
How much oil instead of butter would you use. We make our own oil but can’t find my recipe for the cookies I made before. I know I had to refrigerate the batter for a half hour last time.
Hi Brandi. To substitute oil for butter in your cookie recipe, a general rule is to use ¾ cup of oil for every cup of butter. Refrigerating the batter for half an hour as you did last time will help the cookies maintain their shape. Happy baking!
This the best Cannabutter cookie recipe I’ve found!! They taste sooo good!! You can even use this recipe as a regular cookie recipe and they still taste amazing 10/10!!
Thanks so much for sharing your enthusiasm Na’Ziyah! Your 10/10 rating is truly appreciated. Happy baking!
