Alternate Infusion Options
As with all things edibles, there is more than one way to infuse something.
Below, we will explore how to infuse these mighty 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 on the stovetop, with a crockpot, in an Instant Pot, with kief, or even 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: If you have cannabis sugar, you can make these cookies with it. 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: You can easily make these cookies with concentrates like distillate or FECO. Just be sure to check if your concentrate needs to be decarbed first. Then, mix the concentrate with ½ cup of regular 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, evaporate the alcohol and make FECO first.
- Decarbed Flower: Add decarbed flower or decarbed kief into the flour mixture. Just be mindful of adding the right dose, especially if you are not yet comfortable with your edible tolerance.
Notes and Expert Tips
- Baking note: All ovens bake at different temperatures; the average baking time is 8 minutes. Some ovens will bake quicker, so check your cookies for your desired doneness between 7 and 9 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: They 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 endocannabinoid system.
- Be prepared: With my Cannabis Cookbook, you can easily make the staple recipes needed to infuse this recipe, like cannabutter and cannabis sugar.
- 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you sure can! First, decide how much FECO, RSO, or other concentrate you want to use. Then, gently warm 1/2 cup of regular butter on the stovetop. Once fully liquid, add the concentrate and stir well until the butter and concentrate are fully combined. Allow the infusion to return to room temperature before adding to the recipe.
Yes, check out my guide for making CBD chocolate chip cookies here.
So many great gluten-free flour alternatives swap pretty well for traditional all-purpose flour. You can grab gluten-free all-purpose flour at most grocery stores. This is the all-purpose gluten-free flour I recommend for gluten-free baking.
Yes! To make delicious dairy-free cannabis chocolate chip cookies, you want to make sure you do two things: 1. Use cannabis coconut oil instead of cannabutter 2. Verify your chocolate chips are dairy-free. This is the dairy-free chocolate chip brand I recommend for dairy-free baking.
Yes, this dough is similar to sugar cookies, making it easy to customize these sweet treats. Just add a small amount if you’re adding an extract like vanilla, lemon, mint, or almond extract, as the natural and artificial flavors can be overwhelming.
If you’re using cannabutter, your first step will be to know how much THC is in your batch of cannabutter. Use my popular edible dosage calculator if you need help with this. If this is your first time, know that you will need to know how much cannabis you added in weight and how potent it is in percent.
Edibles can give you the munchies, which may not always be good. Cannabis can help with weight loss, but only in the right circumstances. Check out these healthy cannabis recipes if you need something different!

Fantastic recipe! Thank you so much for sharing it 💗
You are so welcome, I am so glad you enjoyed it!
This is a great recipe. I halved the ingredients and weighed the dough to 18-20g before baking and made about 14 small cookies.
A quarter of a cookie was like smoking. Half a cookie was 3-4 hr trippy and a full cookie was too much! (The Cannabutter was made with 10g herb, 225butter)
Yay, I am so glad you had such a great experience with this recipe!! Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Can I use half brown sugar and half cane sugar?
Yes, that should work!
Hello
I bought your Bliss butter, which by the way, and thank you for such a wonderful product. It doesn’t have that smell of MJ. My chocolate chip cookie recipe is made with 8oz of butter, so I’m going to use your entire 8oz container.
I’m having trouble doing the math o n how much THC/CBD will be in each cookie. Can you or anyone in this community help me with that?
For example if I want to make a cookie with 25mg in ea cookie how many ounces of cookie dough should I scoop? Or 10mg
THANK YOU in advance,
Grace ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words about the Bliss Butter! I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying the product, and it’s wonderful that you’re incorporating it into your baking. I have a chart here specifically for the cookies that will help you with dosing so your cookies turn out just the way you want.
To ensure precise dosing, it’s important to measure the size of your cookie dough scoops. For example, if you’re making 25mg cookies and getting 32 cookies in total, divide the dough evenly into 32 portions. A food scale can also help with consistent sizing.
I hope this breakdown helps, Grace! If you have any further questions or need assistance, I’m here for you.
These are absolutely brilliant ☺️
Thank you 🙏🏽 Made a yummy batch about 6 weeks ago. Love giving them to friends. I’m about to make another batch. Lucky I bookmarked your page. Such a great recipe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much for your kind words, Melita! 😊 We’re so happy you enjoyed the recipe and that your friends are loving the cookies too. It means a lot to us that you bookmarked our page and are making another batch — 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!
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!
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!
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!
Do you ship to North Carolina? It’s not legal here???
Hi Tammy. We DO ship to North Carolina. 😁 All our products, even those with THC, are Federally legal because they contain less than 0.3% THC by dry weight volume, adhering to the requirements outlined in the 2018 Farm Bill. Since it is federally legal, we are able to ship to any state.
can you ship the butter to me in Texas? I want to make some cookies.
Hi Robert. Yes, we ship to Texas. All our products, even those with THC, are Federally legal because they contain less than 0.3% THC by weight and volume, adhering to the requirements outlined in the 2018 Farm Bill. You can purchase the butter here: Bliss Cannabutter. I hope this helps!
Honestly this is the perfect batch for 1/2 c canna butter. I have made these cookies and I change up the chips for different flavors. I have shared this recipe with other! Just made a batch tonight.
Hi Morgan. Thank you for sharing your process! We appreciate your continued support 😊
The Best!
Hi Jay! We are so happy you love this recipe! 🤩
This recipe looks great and I’m eager to try it! I’m wondering if there are any other “wimps” like me who gag at the taste of weed but really love the effect of edibles over other ways to imbibe: Does this recipe cover the taste pretty well or can you tell there’s cannabis in there?
Thank you!
Hi Aubrey. Chocolate is an excellent way to mask the taste of cannabis, but there will always be a hint. These cookies are too delicious, even with the taste of cannabis. The flavor comes from the infusion process, but you can do a cannabis wash prior to help minimize the flavor. I hope this helps!
