Weed Cookies?

The history of weed cookies, or cannabis-infused cookies, is intertwined with the broader evolution of cannabis edibles. While the exact origin is challenging to pinpoint, the concept of infusing cannabis into food dates back centuries, with historical anecdotes suggesting the use of cannabis in culinary practices in various cultures. In more recent times, the popularity of weed cookies surged during the counterculture movements of the 1960s and 1970s, especially in the United States.

As attitudes towards cannabis evolved, so did the methods of consumption, leading to a diversification of edibles. Weed cookies became a discreet and enjoyable way for users to experience the effects of cannabis without the need for traditional smoking methods. Today, with the ongoing legalization and destigmatization of cannabis in many places, weed cookies have become a staple in the cannabis edibles market, offering a delicious and versatile option for those seeking an alternative way to enjoy the plant's therapeutic properties.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Almond Flour: I haven’t tried this recipe with any other flour yet, but I’ll post here in the future if I end up making a nut-free recipe!
  • Monkfruit Sweetener: Feel free to use regular granulated sugar or stevia. I like to use monkfruit because it has 0g of sugar and compliments baked dishes.
  • Baking Powder: Baking powder will help your cookie rise a little bit. Almond flour tends to be very dense so you’ll need some baking powder to create more air in the cookie.
  • Egg: For a vegan option, substitute for flax egg.
  • Nut Butter: You can use any nut, or even seed butter for this recipe. I like to use organic almond or peanut butter because it has the strongest flavours.
  • Cannabis Hash Butter: You can use cannabis butter made from dried flower or hash! Hash is going to be more potent and offer higher terpene content, but dried flower will do the job just fine.
  • Stevia Chocolate Bar: The key to making a beautiful chocolate chip cookie is to use cut up chocolate chunks rather than pre-made chocolate chips! It’s going to give your cookie a rustic and unique looks, where each chocolate piece is going to be a different size and shape. Substitute for regular chocolate bar if you don’t have access to stevia sweetened ones.
  • Dairy Free Coconut Ice Cream: Ice cream is going to be the cherry on top for this recipe. The coldness of the ice cream compliments the warm cookie. Substitute for regular cows milk ice cream if you’re good with dairy!
  • Maldon Salt Flakes: There’s really no other substitute for Maldon salt flakes - this salt has a seriously special place in my heart. It doesn’t have to be the Maldon brand, but try to get salt flakes that are flat and flaky, which will be perfect for garnish and melting on top of the cookie.


TIPS & TRICKS

  • Make sure you use a well-seasoned cast iron pan. This will help with cleaning the skillet after baking. The more seasoned it is, the less likely you’re going to have a tough time scraping bits of cookie off the pan.
  • If you don’t have a mini cast iron pan, make one big cookie in a regular 8” skillet. You might have to double, or even triple the recipe measurements. Alternatively, you can make this exact same recipe without a cast iron pan, and make it as you would with regular cookies.

FAQ

Q: Does it matter what type of flour I use?

A: Nope, it doesn’t matter what type of flour you use! I’ve always tried this recipe with almond flour, never any other kind so if you do try it out with a different flour, let me know how it goes!

Q: How long does this recipe take to kick in?

A: This recipe is considered to be a cannabis edible, which means that it has to be ingested and processed by your liver before heading up to your blood brain barrier. The onset of cannabis edibles can range from person to person, and can also be impacted by a variety of factors, such as one’s metabolism. Generally cannabis edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes all the way to 2 hours for the onset, and the experience can last between 4 to 12 hours.

Q: Do I have to use a nut butter?

A: No you don’t have to use a nut butter. I prefer using it because it adds some yummy nuttiness to the flavour but you could also use regular butter!

Step 1: Calculate Potency For Your Infusion

Calculate total batch potency by entering product weight (grams), THC/THCA percentage, and CBD/CBDA percentage. Get total THC and CBD in milligrams (mg) for dosing.

(flower, wax, oil, etc)

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive compound in cannabis, while THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is its non-psychoactive precursor found in raw cannabis

CBD (cannabidiol) is a psychoactive compound in cannabis known for its potential therapeutic benefits, while CBDA (cannabidiolic acid) is the precursor to CBD found in raw cannabis, which needs to be decarboxylated (heated) to become CBD with active properties.

(ie. butter, olive oil, coconut oil, MCT oil, alcohol)
