Why You Will Love This Recipe
This recipe is the best warm, delicious, melt-in-your-mouth peanut butter cookie made even better because it comes with multiple cannabis-infusion options.
Yes, you could transform any peanut butter cookie recipe into a cannabis-infused peanut butter cookie.
Simply swap the fat called for, like butter or oil, for cannabis butter or cannabis oil, and voila – you have a cannabis-infused cookie.
But if you’re looking for the perfect cannabis peanut butter cookie recipe that has been made specifically with cannabis-infused oil, cannabutter, cannabis sugar, or cannabis concentrates – this is it!
And if you’re brand new to making cannabis recipes, be sure to get my guide to cannabis edibles to help you on your journey.
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour: white, all-purpose, AP flour works best in this recipe
- 1 teaspoon baking soda: don’t confuse this for baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt: kosher salt or table salt works
- 1 cup sugar: I use white sugar, but you could substitute cannasugar
- ½ cup cannabutter: Buy my Bliss Cannabutter or make your own. This should be softened to room temperature for the best results
- ½ cup peanut butter: Natural, creamy, or chunky – your choice. Or try cannabis-infused peanut butter for an extra potency kick
- 1 egg: for consistency
Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.
Dosing & Potency
Dosing this recipe couldn’t be easier if you use my Bliss Cannabutter.
You can use the printable chart below to determine the exact amount of butter to use to get your desired THC milligrams per batch or cookie.
If you are not using Bliss Cannabutter, my edible dosage calculator is another great way to determine your cookies’ potency.
If you are unsure where to start, check out my safe dosing guide before getting started.
- Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Step 2 – In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the flour and mix in the baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- Step 3 – In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, add the sugar, cannabutter, and peanut butter.
- Step 4 – Using a hand mixer, cream the ingredients together until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Step 5 – Add the beaten egg to the creamed sugar and mix until well incorporated. Set aside.
- Step 6 – With the hand mixer on low, gently incorporate the dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
- Step 7 – Turn the mixer to medium speed and mix until a dough is formed. The consistency of the dough should be able to ball up and hold shape.
- Step 8 – Using your hands, create a dough ball approximately 1″ in size. Place each ball on a clean baking pan with 3-4 inches of space between the dough balls and the edge of the pan.
- Step 9 – Flatten the dough balls once with a fork, then turn the fork 90° and flatten again to create a crosshatch pattern.
- Step 10 – Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Step 11 – After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Step 12 – Enjoy the cookies warm, or wait until they cool. Store extra cookies in an airtight container for a later time.
Note: complete step-by-step printable instructions are located in the recipe card below.
Storage Instructions
You can store these cookies in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to a week.
You can also store them in a sealed container in the fridge where they will last up to two weeks, or store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 6 or more months in the freezer.
Alternate Infusion Options
You can’t make cannabis peanut butter cookies without one of the staple recipes important for every cannabis kitchen: coconut oil, cannabutter, sugar, or concentrates.
You can use any option you want, or mix and match them to adjust the potency and taste of your final product.
Cannabis Oil or Cannabutter
Used interchangeably, baking with cannabis oil or cannabutter is an easy way to infuse a broad spectrum of compounds like CBD or THC from the cannabis plant and get them into the food you are eating.
As a heads up, you will want to make sure you have one of these recipes prepared BEFORE diving into making your own cannabis-infused peanut butter cookies.
The process involves cannabis decarboxylation and then oil infusion, which takes approximately 5 hours.
The process of infusion is nearly the same, but does have some differences, which is why I have a few different guides for you:
- Cannabis-infused coconut oil
- Step-by-step guide to making cannabutter
- How to make cannabutter in the Instant Pot
Again, it is your choice which one you want to make, both work well in this recipe.
Cannabis Sugar
You can also make these cannabis peanut butter cookies with cannabis-infused sugar if you have some on hand.
Cannasugar is made by pouring a QWET tincture or a Green Dragon tincture over white sugar and letting the alcohol evaporate off, leaving cannabis-infused sugar behind.
It is entirely up to you whether or not you want to use cannabis oil or cannasugar in this recipe.
Additionally, you could use BOTH infused oil or butter and infused sugar together for an extra potent batch of medicated cookies.
Cannabis Concentrates
You can also make cannabis edibles with cannabis concentrates like FECO.
First, check to see if your concentrate needs to be decarbed before consuming.
Some concentrates and extracts like distillate and FECO do not need to be decarbed first, while other concentrates like wax and shatter need to be decarbed before being used in edibles.
Once the concentrate is ready to go, you will simply mix it in with the butter as called for in this recipe.
Then prepare the recipe as described in the instructions below.

Notes
Nutrition
Different Dietary Options
Cannabis-infused food doesn’t have to be junk food, but it can still be a tasty treat that you enjoy.
This also makes sure that your edibles don’t inadvertently contain something you happen to be allergic to or have had problems with in the past.
In other words, this recipe is accommodating to more diets than “normal” peanut butter cookies, whilst still being absolutely delicious and a great vehicle for your cannabis.
For Gluten-Free Cookies
If you are looking for a delicious gluten-free peanut butter cookie recipe, we have had great success with using cassava flour. Swapping cassava flour for traditional all-purpose flour makes these cookies gluten-free.
These cookies can also work with the Paleo diet if you use seed butter in place of peanut butter (cassava is not a grain, but a tropical root vegetable).
You can generally get cassava flour at your local Whole Foods or even Wal-Mart, or you can . Check your supermarket first though; with the growing popularity of the Paleo diet, it’s become a lot easier to get.
Gluten-Free Recipe Note
To make these cookies gluten free, use the same recipe below with the following changes:
- Add another egg for a total of 2 beaten eggs
- Swap 1 cup cassava flour with ¼ reserved for the traditional all-purpose flower
- When following the instructions, only add 1 cup of cassava flour at first. Add the reserved ¼ by the tablespoon, as needed, to get the right consistency in the dough
For Dairy-Free Cookies
This recipe is dairy-free if you use cannabis coconut oil rather than cannabutter.

Don’t like (or can’t eat) peanut butter? You can also make this recipe with homemade hemp seed butter.

Great recipe but I tweeked it a bit.I am not fond of the taste of Cannabis.So I reduce the amount of flour to 1cup and add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder.I also add a few extras like shredded coconut and sometimes chocolate chips.I use 1/4 cup of butter and 1/4 cup cannabutter.My cookies turn out good as everyone raves about them.I thank you for your original recipe.
Thank you for sharing your tweaks, Noel! It’s always great to see how people adapt recipes to their taste. Your adjustments with cocoa powder, coconut, and chocolate chips sound delicious! I’m glad to hear your cookies are a hit with everyone. Happy baking, and feel free to share more of your creative variations!
I always take a minute off baking time because they dry out too fast and then they’re hard but otherwise they were really good. I love all your recipes, but sometimes I put a little bit of twist on them of My own, Thank you
I love that you put your own twist on them, Stacy! So glad you enjoyed this one 😃
I made these cookies and am sold a million percent. I have been looking for something that tastes good above all else. These cookies are fabulous! Thank you ✌🏼💚
Hello Cat, thank you so much for your kind recipe review, I am so happy to hear these turned out so good for you 💚
Excellent, I made these with keif butter and used half brown sugar and half white sugar, texture was fabulous! Making more today.
That sounds absolutely delicious JoAnn! Using kief butter along with a mix of brown and white sugar must have really elevated the texture of your cookies. Can’t wait to hear how your next batch turns out. Happy baking!
Slightly confused, ive made them a few times and struggl with them being dry and crumbling in the dough stage lol, but we over come that my question is about the ingredient amounts one spot says 3/4 cup peanut butter and another spot says 1/2 cup.. could you please advise me of the correct amount!! Thanks 😊
Hi Ashley. Thank you for reaching out! To clarify, the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of peanut butter, but you also have the option to use 3/4 cup if you prefer a richer and slightly moister dough. If you’ve experienced dryness and crumbling in the past, I’d recommend going with the 3/4 cup of peanut butter. This should help achieve a better consistency.
Keep experimenting, and enjoy your baking! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out!
I’d like to switch to edibles over smoking, but I don’t want to eat cookies every day. In general beyond a piece of toast every few days, there isn’t too much that I use butter for cooking/eating. What suggestions do you have for making healthier goods? I eat mostly chicken, fish, rice, and veg. (Don’t add butter to my rice or veg, though I guess I could rather than eat junk food) Just wondering what my options are
Hi Matthew. Switching to edibles from smoking is a great decision for many, and you definitely don’t have to limit yourself to cookies! Have you considered making oil rather than butter? I recommend making your own cannabis-infused oils that can be used in a variety of dishes and are easily integrated into any chicken, fish, rice, and vegetable meals without altering your eating habits drastically.
For your chicken and fish, an infused olive or coconut oil can serve as a marinade. When it comes to vegetables, a light drizzle of infused oil before can enhance flavor while providing the desired effects of cannabis.
Also, consider exploring cannabis-infused sauces or dressings. A homemade vinaigrette with infused oil can be a healthy way to add a twist to your salads or dishes without resorting to junk food.
Here is a guide with many healthy recipes that may help you get some more ideas from: https://emilykylenutrition.com/healthy-cannabis-recipes/. There are many options available for you and we’re here to support you along the way!
I was short a couple tablespoons of butter, but the cookies still came out beautifully. I did not adjust any other ingredient, and came out with thirty five 42g cookies.
Hi Jenna. It’s great to hear your cookies turned out beautifully even with a bit less butter! It sounds like you got thirty-five perfect treats! Thanks for sharing your experience!
I made this with 1/2 the cannabutter and the cookies were great but crunchy rather than chewy. I plan on using the full amount of the butter this time. What can I add to make them more chewy?
Hi Leslie. Did you add in regular butter to make up the full amount of required butter that the recipe calls for? You always want to use the total amount of butter called for, but it can be divided between cannabutter and regular butter. Not enough butter will result in crunchier cookies.
To make your cookies more chewy, you can try adding a bit more moisture to the dough. One option is to add an extra egg yolk, as it contributes to the chewiness of baked goods. Additionally, you can experiment with increasing the brown sugar content, as it helps retain moisture and promotes a softer texture. I hope this helps. Happy baking!
You say to use baking soda not baking powder, but the “what you’ll need” photo shows a measuring spoon labeled “baking powder”.
Hi there, Lauren! Thank you so much for pointing this out! You have a keen eye 😊 You’re absolutely right, and I appreciate your attention to detail. The recipe has been updated to reflect the correct ingredient – baking soda. Thanks again for helping make this recipe better for everyone. Happy baking! 🍪💕
Love the cookie recipes. Can’t wait to start baking.
Hi Carolyn. We can’t wait for you to start baking!! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need any help along the way.
I loved the simplicity of this recipe. However, I did have to tweak the amount of the ingredients because I found the dough a bit dry when I followed the exact recipe. Maybe I needed more butter idk but the cookies turned out excellent!
Hi Molli. We’re glad you love the recipe after making a small adjustment. Thank you for your feedback!
First timer: 1/2 cup cannabutter makes to strong of a cookie, for me now I have 18 cookies and over a cup of cannabutter to try to use in 6 months.
Hi Bruce. You can freeze the cookies for longer shelf life and as far as the cannabutter goes, you can add more butter into it and each serving won’t be as strong. If you add a cup of non-infused butter to a cup of cannabutter, the cannabutter will be half as strong than it originally was. Make sense?
I’ve made this recipe using cannabutter several times now and I’m always happy with the results! Thanks!
Hi Meredith! Thank you so much for commenting. We love hearing about successes from our readers! ? Happy Baking!
Love it!!! They’re going in now!!! I put the extra butter from the measuring cup in my coffee too!! Thank you!
YAY, Amber! This is super exciting! We are so happy you love this recipe! ?
These are FABULOUS! I followed the recipe except for using 50/50 granulated and brown sugars and rolling the cookies in granulated sugar before baking. I always love the crystallized outside with a soft center. I also drizzled with melted dark chocolate leftover from Valentine’s Day. Gave them as a birthday gift and the recipient’s exact words “no one is eating any of these, these babies are mine!” With a huge smile. It was my first time baking a canna and they turned out perfectly. Thank you!
Hi Christine! Thanks for sharing your tips with us! They sound delightful! ? Happy Baking!
Hi! I am new to all of this, so my info is slim, but not in cooking. So I tried my peanut butter cookie recipe with the Cana butter and they don’t taste any different?, but they sure do give you a nice feeling. I have serval things wrong with me and this helped me enormously. I am learning what it takes care of and what it doesn’t. The most pain I had was from a pinched nerve in my neck with three moved bones and the pain went from my neck, down my arm and into my fingers, the pain was so bad at times I sat in my chair and cried. Now as long as I take it everyday, I literally have no pain from it. Needles to say i am thrilled! The arthritis pain is still there, but manageable with some gummies. Ordering more Cana butter next week so I can try my brownie recipe, for when I need a chocolate fix. Thank you so much, doctors don’t help with pain, it’s almost like they don’t believe you or they don’t know what to do. This is such a relief for me and I can’t thank you enough. ?
Hi Pat! We are so sorry to hear of your struggles, but are absolutely thrilled that you are finding relief through cannabis! It is so sad that the doctors don’t help us the way we need them to. It’s important to pay attention to your body and do what you can to make little differences for improvement. Small shifts will lead to big changes. Bliss Cannabutter can be used in any recipe that calls for butter. Sending all the good vibes your way! Thank you for your support. ?
Making these now. Super easy to make. Used my stand mixer. I think I may have made them too big because I’m going on 25 mins make time at 350 and they are not turning golden brown at all. Still very pale. Switched to conv. And that helped too. Mine came out crumbly as well. Added egg but maybe next time I will add 2 eggs
Hi Lisa. Adding an extra egg may provide a chewy, cake-like texture, but there are three mains reasons why your cookies are crumbling. Too much flour was used, too much mixing or the cookies baked for too long. The cookie should be baked only until the edges are slightly golden and the top looks a little wrinkled. Let us know what you try next time!
My spouse and I are watching our sugars, made these with Splenda and they are so good. Thank you
Hi Cindy! We are so happy you love them! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you for sharing this, I subbed 1/3 c infused olive oil and 1/4 c vegan butter for the used a full 2 cups flour and added mini semi sweet chocolate chips, and after forming the cookies I chilled them for 30 minutes in the fridge before baking so they would maintain a good texture. They baked up perfect, the mini chips make them a little special. Peace!
Hi Chris. These sound like a delightful twist! ? Thank you for sharing!
Made these tonight, they’re falling apart?? Taste great though
Hey Kelly! I am so sorry to hear they are falling apart, I haven’t had that experience when I make them unless they’re still really hot. Did they firm up after cooling? Otherwise, any chance you forgot a binding ingredient, like the egg or anything else? Just trying to help troubleshoot!
I used 1/2 cup of refined canna coconut oil (a forever liquid), 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Drizzled chocolate on 1/2 of them. TO DIE FOR. Not skunky at all. I’ll be trying these gluten free next
These sound heavenly Mailie ? Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
These came together super quickly and taste great. I used canna butter in the recipe and 1 cup of just white sugar. Thanks for the recipe!!
I am so happy these turned out so well for you, Jessica! Thanks for letting us know ?
I’m going to make your peanut butter cookies with Cana butter I’ll let you know how it turns out! ?
That sounds amazing, Paula, be sure to let us know how they turned out for you 😀
