Ingredient Notes

- Cannabutter: If you don't already have this made, start with my guide to making cannabutter in a crockpot or cannbutter in an Instant Pot. Then, the cannabutter needs to be softened to room temperature for the best result. It won't cream together well if it is cold and hard. Completely melted is not ideal either. You can substitute cannabis coconut oil here, but it should be room temperature, too.
- Peanut Butter: Feel free to use your choice of peanut butter, natural, creamy, or chunky. Or try cannabis-infused peanut butter for a extra potency kick.
- Sugar: I use white sugar in this recipe, but if you want, you could substitute cannabis sugar.
- Cannabis Infusion Options: There are many different ways you can infuse this recipe. Find all of your options from decarbed flower to concentrates under the Alternate Infusion Options section below.
Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.
The Step-by-Step Process

- Step 1 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Step 2 - In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
- Step 3 - In a separate medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and peanut butter.
- Step 4 - Add the eggs to the creamed butter and sugar.

- Step 5 - Beat the ingredients together well with the mixer.
- Step 6 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while continuing to mix.
- Step 7 - Mix until a dough is formed.
- Step 8 - Create 1" dough balls and place them on the baking sheet.

- Step 9 - Gently flatten the dough balls with a fork. Flatten again to create a crosshatch pattern.
- Step 10 – Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Step 11 - Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Step 12 – Enjoy!

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 optionn you want, or mix and match them to adjust the potency and taste of your final product.
Cannabis Coconut 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 and takes approximately 5-hours.
The process of infusion is nearly the same, but does have some differences, which is why I have two different guides for you:
- How to Make Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil
- Easy, 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 a 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.
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 using 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.

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 order it online. 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.
Peanut-Free Cookie Recipe
Don't like (or can't eat) peanut butter? You can also make this recipe with homemade hemp seed butter.

📖 Recipe

Easy Cannabis Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar or cannabis sugar
- ½ cup cannabutter room temperature
- ¾ cup peanut butter or cannabis peanut butter
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Gather two baking sheets and set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the flour and mix in the baking soda and salt.
- In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, add the sugar, cannabutter or oil, and peanut butter.
- Using a hand mixer, cream the ingredients together until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the beaten egg to the creamed sugar and mix until well incorporated. Set aside.
- With the hand mixer on low, gently incorporate the dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
- 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.
- 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.
- Flatten the dough balls once with a fork, then turn the fork 90° and flatten again to create a crosshatch pattern.
- Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool 1-2 minutes.
- Enjoy the cookies warm or wait until they cool. Store extra cookies in an airtight container for a later time.
Paula
I’m going to make your peanut butter cookies with Cana butter I’ll let you know how it turns out! 😊
Emily Kyle
That sounds amazing, Paula, be sure to let us know how they turned out for you 😀
Jessica
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!!
Emily Kyle
I am so happy these turned out so well for you, Jessica! Thanks for letting us know 😊
Mailie
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
Emily Kyle
These sound heavenly Mailie 👏 Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
Kelly K Myers
Made these tonight, they're falling apart?? Taste great though
Emily Kyle
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!
Chris
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!
Renée from Team EKN
Hi Chris. These sound like a delightful twist! 😊 Thank you for sharing!
Cindy
My spouse and I are watching our sugars, made these with Splenda and they are so good. Thank you
Renée from Team EKN
Hi Cindy! We are so happy you love them! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Lisa Evans
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
Renée from Team EKN
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!
Pat
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. 🤩
Renée from Team EKN
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. 🥰
Christine
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!
Renée from Team EKN
Hi Christine! Thanks for sharing your tips with us! They sound delightful! 🤗 Happy Baking!
Amber
Love it!!! They’re going in now!!! I put the extra butter from the measuring cup in my coffee too!! Thank you!
Renée from Team EKN
YAY, Amber! This is super exciting! We are so happy you love this recipe! 🥰
Meredith
I’ve made this recipe using cannabutter several times now and I’m always happy with the results! Thanks!
Renée from Team EKN
Hi Meredith! Thank you so much for commenting. We love hearing about successes from our readers! 💚 Happy Baking!
Bruce Hager
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.
Renée from Team EKN
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?
