Are you looking for an alternative to smoking your marijuana? Try making your own cookies using cannabis butter. Follow the steps or leave comments if you have a better method. Like all edible marijuana, the quality of the marijuana dictates the potency.
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of Cannabis butter directions here >>
- 1/2 cup of white sugar
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups of chocolate chips
- 1 cup of finely chopped nuts (optional, replace with more chocolate chips if you don’t like nuts)
Step 1
Place your Cannabis butter into a bowl.
Step 2
Grab another small bowl and combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. In the bowl that has your cannabis butter, add the white sugar, and vanilla and mix.
Step 3
Now add one egg, beat until it is fully mixed, add the other egg and repeat. Continue to mix as you slowly add the flour mixture from the small bowl.
Step 4
When fully mixed, stir in the chocolate chips and nut mixture. If your dough mix is too dry and hard, add a small amount of water and mix until slightly sticky.
Step 5
Separate your dough mixture into five or six smaller balls of dough, and place them on a very lightly greased baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Step 6
Place the baking tray into the oven and let it bake for around 10-12 minutes, or until they look cooked. They should be a golden brown color.
Step 7
Let your cookies fully cool, preferably on a wire rack. They are now ready to eat.
Digesting marijuana will not provide immediate effects like vaporizing or smoking. Eating or drinking medicinal marijuana takes effect approximately one half hour to one hour after ingesting. This can vary based on your weight, tolerance or dosage of the product. Learn the dosage of marijuana, your tolerance and source of edible marijuana that you use. It is also reccomended to eat the medication on a light stomach (not on a full stomach) in order to fully digest the food/medicine in your body to realize the effects fully.
I just use the box it is easier and cheaper and tastes just as good if you buy the ggod kind. Yummmmeeeeee.
Nothing from a box is good. From scratch is the right way and cheaper. If you dont already have 75% of the ingredients in your pantry then leave the baking to some one else.
Bake me some then
What do you do with the brown sugar? You do not mention it in your directions.
This is a great and tasty recipe. I have made them myself already once and everybody enjoyed them a lot.
As a long term patient of Fibromyalgia, all I can say is, that medical marijuana gives me much more relief of my pain, than all the medicaments I have to take on a daily basis.
I made these but I used 2 1/2 cups of gluten free flour, 1/2 teaspoon of almond ext. and 1 cup of sugar. Baking for 11-12 min. I dropped by tablespoon or cereal spoon and was able to make 44 cookies. So I have plenty now to eat I used 4 grams of weed to make 1 cup of cannibutter. I ate one cookie and started feeling the effects within 20 min. On an empty stomach and I weigh 130 lbs. They are so good I want to eat another! Lol
I make these all the time 🙂 I love them soooo much and make them all the time. I have a thyroid problem and was on medication for 17 years as of 4 years ago I started treating with what I call the miracle butter, and my thyroid is good and I have been pill free since !!!! One cookie a night not only keeps the doctor away but helps you sleep tight 🙂 My miracle meds are MIRACLE BUZZ BUTTER 🙂
I have hypothyroid and fibromyalgia. Never used marijuana but need better treatment than the doctor gives. How do you make the butter and how much do you take? Does it give you a high effect? Maybe something I could use at night. I know my post sounds silly but it your butter sounds better than synthroid and percocet.
How often do you eat these to keep your fibermyage pain away? I hurt from the time I get up to going to bed and even through the night. But I can not smoke it as my lungs are bad. Help
Your opinion .
Mary Ann I’m asthmatic and cannot litterlly smoke pot however after trying many vaporizers (no smoke) you might want to look into a vaporizer, no smoke, harsdly smells I use a Pax2 (much better & easier than Pax1, look up Pax2 on comuter the makers of the Pax 1 & 2 is called Ploom, lots of info and the best thing that ever happened to me, if you buy cheap vaporizer you will hate it, also 10 year warrantee possible lifetime warrantee. if you decide to go the vaporizor route I would go no other way than a Pax2…Guarantee you’ll love it.
