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.
