Dosing this recipe couldn’t be easier if you use my Bliss cannabutter.

The printable chart below can help you determine the amount of butter needed to achieve your desired THC milligrams per batch or cookie. 

If you are not using 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 5 – Start at a low speed and gradually increase the mixer speed to medium-high speed, beat well with the mixer. Scrape the sides of the bowl if needed.
• 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 the mint chips when the cookie batter has formed.

Place a piece of wax paper between the layers if you have drizzled chocolate on top of the cookies.

If you store the dough for future baking, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. Learn more about how to store edibles here.

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 tasty treats with your favorite secret ingredient.

Cannabutter

Using cannabis butter is the most popular way to infuse your favorite recipes.

It’s easier and most cost-effective to buy my Bliss Cannabutter, but there are many ways to make it home.

Whether you start with unsalted butter or ghee, you can infuse in a crockpot, Instant Pot, stovetop, or infusion machine.

You can use traditional flowers, trim, or fan leaves, or specifically, make CBD butter or kief butter. Just don’t grind first.

Remember, if you use unsalted butter, separation may occur. And don’t worry about the green color; color is not an indicator of potency.

You can adjust the amount of cannabutter used alongside regular butter to control your dose if needed. Use a ¼ cup cannabutter and ¼ cup butter for a less potent option.

Cannabis Oil

One of two classic staple recipes for every kitchen: coconut oil is a dairy-free alternative to cannabutter.

Coconut oil stays solid at room temperature, so it’s perfect for this recipe and creams together with the sugar.

Note: Using other types of liquid oil, like MCT oil or olive oil, may negatively affect the final cookie consistency.

Cannabis Sugar

You can make these cookies with infused sugar if you have some on hand.

Simply swap the infused sugar for white sugar. 

You could also use infused oil or butter and infused sugar for an extra potent batch of cookies.

Concentrates and Extracts

These cookies can be easily made 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-based extract in this recipe, evaporate the alcohol and make FECO first.

Decarbed Flower

While it’s not my favorite way, you can add decarbed flower or decarbed kief right into this recipe and the flour mixture.

Just be mindful of adding the correct dose, especially if you are not a regular consumer of edibles.

• 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. Some may need as long as 11-12 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. Don’t be afraid to bake an additional minute if needed.
• Edibles can be potent: If you have never had edibles before, it is essential to note that they will likely affect you differently than inhalation, topical, or sublingual application methods.
• Be safe: When it comes to cannabis edibles, please start low and go SLOW! Your experience will be entirely dependent on your endocannabinoid system.
