    Christmas Cookie Baking Traditions

    From our morning cup of coffee before letting Ransom come out of his room, to the special infused drinks we enjoy while decorating the tree, everything about Christmas for us has a special meaning.

    These traditional Italian spritz cookies with anise are no exception.

    They are the only holiday cookie, my husband, Chef Phil, really wants left out for Santa each year.

    This article will review the many different ways you can infuse these cookies, from classic cannabis butter to coconut oil, and even cannabis sugar.

    Before Making Cannabis-Infused Cookies

    Depending on how strong you want your cookies, you can choose a combination of infusion options for a medicated cookie that is as potent as you want it.

    You can easily make this recipe to be either traditional or cannabis-infused.

    Making any recipe cannabis-infused is our specialty here, so we have multiple infusion options.

    However, if you’re brand new to cannabis edibles, there are a few things to know before you get started so you can ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience. 

    You can get started with my beginners guide to cannabis edibles which will set you up for success in your cannabis kitchen.

    Cannabis Cookie Infusion Options

    As with all things cannabis, there is more than one way to infuse something.

    Here you will find multiple ways to infuse these cookies based on your personal preferences and what you have available already.

    Infuse with Coconut Oil or Cannabutter

    To make these delicious cookies, you will need one or more of these staple cannabis recipes: cannabis-infused coconut oil or cannabutter. 

    Used interchangeably, using either infused coconut oil or infused butter will work in this recipe.

    Oil infusions are an easy way to infuse a full-spectrum of compounds like CBD or THC from the cannabis plant into the food you are eating.

    You will want to make sure you have your cannabis-infused coconut oil or cannabutter prepared BEFORE diving into making your own cannabis oatmeal cookies.

    Making butter or oil first involves cannabis decarboxylation and then a water bath that cooks for approximately 4-hours.

    Once you have your cannabis oil or butter ready, you can go ahead and use it in any other of our delicious cannabis-infused recipes like these classic cannabis brownies.

    Infuse with Cannabis Sugar

    You can also make these cannabis cookies with cannabis-infused sugar.

    It is entirely up to you whether or not you want to use infused oil, cannabutter, or infused sugar in this recipe.

    Alternatively, you could also use BOTH infused oil or butter AND infused sugar together for an extra potent batch of cookies.

    Infuse With Concentrates and Extracts

    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 do need to be decarbed before using in edibles.

    If you are unsure, you can checkout our guide to decarbing cannabis concentrates here.

    Once the concentrate is ready to go, you will simply mix it in with the 1 cup of butter as called for in this recipe.

    Then prepare the recipe as described in the instructions below.
