Why You Will Love This Recipe
Have you been looking for the perfect CBD recipe to start with?
If you are new to cannabis edibles, cooking with CBD is a great way to start, and this is one of my Edibles with Emily communities’ favorite recipes.
For this recipe, you can start with CBD flower or use a bottle of CBD oil if you have it.
This guide will provide step-by-step instructions for making your classic childhood favorite, notes, expert tips, and frequently asked questions about making CBD edibles.
What You’ll Need
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour: white, all-purpose, AP flour works best in this recipe
- ½ teaspoon baking soda: don’t confuse this for baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt: kosher salt or table salt works
- 1 ounce (30mL) CBD oil: Need a product to start with? Shop here! There are many different ways you can infuse this recipe. You can also make CBD cannabutter.
- ½ cup butter: or infused coconut oil you desire
- ¾ cup sugar: I use white sugar in this recipe, but if you want, you could substitute infused sugar or dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg: for consistency
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract: for taste
- 1 cup optional toppings: This cookie batter is a blank canvas. Feel free to add unsweetened chocolate chips, M&M’s, sea salt, or even your favorite healthy ingredients, like nuts. One cup seems to be a perfect balance, but add more if you want a higher chocolate ratio.
Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is in the recipe card below.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1 – The first step is to 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 together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set this aside.
- Step 3 – In another large, separate bowl, cream the CBD oil, 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 sugar 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 one tablespoon-sized dough ball (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.
- Step 12 – Enjoy!

Storage Instructions
While these cookies are best enjoyed immediately, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.
Adding a slice of bread to the airtight container will help keep them moist. Learn more about how to store edibles here.
Alternate Cannabis Infusion Options
Remember that all full-spectrum CBD products contain trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis plants.
Even if the CBD is from hemp, there is a possibility it may contain trace amounts of THC.
While it may not be enough to make you feel high, it is enough to cause a failed drug test – so keep that in mind!
CBD Oil
CBD oil, sometimes called a CBD tincture, is the easiest way to infuse this CBD cookie recipe and reap the benefits of CBD oil.
You can either purchase CBD oil from my shop or make your own CBD oil at home.
Storebought CBD oils are great because they have lab tests that make it super easy to know the milligram dose per serving size.
To calculate the CBD dosage, note how many cookies your final batch makes. This recipe makes 24 cookies.
If you used a half bottle (15mL) of 1000mg CBD oil, you would get approximately 20mg of CBD per cookie.
If you used a whole bottle (30mL) of 1000mg bottle of CBD oil, you would get approximately 42mg of CBD per cookie.

CBD Concentrates
Concentrates are the way to go if you want to maximize the CBD content out of these cookies.
Concentrates are incredibly mild and let you enjoy the natural flavors of the cookies without the CBD oil taste.
CBD Flower
CBD flower is a great way to make any infusion you desire. You can shop for your favorite strain in my shop.
Just be sure to decarb first! After decarbing, CBD can be infused into:
- coconut oil
- vegetable oil
- olive oil
- avocado oil
- MCT oil
- butter – you can make CBD cannabutter, cannabutter in a crockpot, an Instant Pot, or CBD kief butter
Notes and Expert Tips
- To calculate your final dose easily, divide the milligrams of CBD added to the recipe by the number of cookies made. If you are using flowers, you can use the edible dosage calculator to do the math.
- If you want to make these chocolate-chocolate chip cookies, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the batter

Frequently Asked Questions
Any CBD product from my shop is perfect for getting started. Need help picking the perfect product? Start with my guide on choosing a safe CBD product and go from there! Be sure you choose CBD oil, not hemp seed oil (which is nutritious but has no CBD).
That is OK; forgetting to decarb CBD flower happens to the best of us. You will still reap the benefits of cannabidolic acid or CBDA.
You do not need lecithin for the structure of this recipe, but you can add it if you want to increase the bioavailability of CBD. Add 1/2 teaspoon of soy lecithin or sunflower lecithin per batch.
0-5mg of CBD per serving is considered a low dose to start with for first-time consumers.
Thankfully, CBD will not make you feel high, and eating as much as you desire is OK.
While CBD is not dangerous to children, be sure to keep it out of reach of children. The parent and doctor’s advice should determine the use of these products.
These cookies are the perfect snack, but you can also try CBD gummies, CBD chocolates, CBD seasonings, and more.

Hi Are the chocolate chip cookies supposed to be crisp?
Hi Roxana. These cookies crisp a tiny bit when baked just right, but still have a soft chewy texture.
