Ingredient Notes

- ½ teaspoon salt: kosher salt or table salt works

The Step-by-Step Process
- Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set them aside. A greased baking sheet will work, too.
- Step 2 – Whisk the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set this aside.
- Step 3 – In another large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Step 4 – Add the egg and vanilla to the creamed butter bowl.
- Step 5 – Starting at a low speed and gradually increasing, beat well with the mixer.
- Step 6 – Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing.
- Step 7 – Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and a dough has formed.
- Step 8 – Fold in the chocolate chips when the dough has formed.
- Step 9 – Create 24 one-tablespoon-sized dough balls using a #70 scoop and place them evenly 2″ apart on the reserved baking sheets.
- Step 10 – Bake in the oven for 7-10 minutes or until they are perfectly golden brown. See baking notes below.
- Step 11 – Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 1-2 minutes before removing them from the baking sheet and transferring them to a cooling rack.

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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Even cookies can be brand new to even the most seasoned cannabis consumer. Here are some of the most common FAQs I get asked about these delicious cookies from my Well With Cannabis Community.
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 a good thing. Cannabis can help with weight loss, but only in the right circumstances. Check out these healthy cannabis recipes if you need something different!

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!
The Best!
Hi Jay! We are so happy you love this recipe! 🤩
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 😊
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!
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.
