How to make delicious marijuana cookies

There’s probably no simpler recipe than marijuana cookies, which you can use for a fun afternoon or, why not, start on a Saturday or Sunday in the best possible way. Do you dare to prepare them? We tell you how to do it!

Humans have been consuming cannabis-infused goodies for centuries. Just look at the long traditions of bhang in India or mahjoun in Morocco. It should come as no surprise, then, that the gradual legalization of weed has led to a spike in creative weed infusions. These days, the sky’s the limit thanks to liposomal CBD, water-soluble THC, and advanced extraction methods. But every now and then, it’s nice to bring it back to the basics.

If you haven’t found a store-bought edible you love or simply want to infuse baked goods with your favorite strain, pot cookies are a great place to start. Here, you’ll find pro tips, what you’ll need, and a simple semi-homemade recipe. 

That’s why I propose today to make marijuana cookies together to which you can then add all the ingredients you want to give them a different touch, have varied flavors or adapt it to your taste and that of your guests.We recommend decarboxylate the cannabis before cooking, because although during the process of elaboration of the recipe, the marijuana can be decarboxylated, if we do it before we make sure that the decarboxylation is done correctly.

Ingredients for making marijuana cookies pour les biscuits au cannabis

To make about 40 basic marijuana cookies, you’re going to need the following ingredients:

• 130 grams of butter
• 250 grams of flour (it’s better a special flour for desserts, if don’t have it available, use the one you have at home)
• 120 grams of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 pinch of salt
• Between 4.5 and 5 grams of marijuana (in buds, it’s better to grind it before in the kitchen. You can do it yourself with a  shredder)

From here, you can add to your cookies, for example:

• Small pieces or chocolate balls
• Nuts
• Vanilla (powdered or as flavouring) and/or cinnamon. Some also use flavors such as vanilla or strawberry flavours. We leave it up to you.
• Lemon zest

As for the stuff, you’re gonna need:

• A medium saucepan
• A strainer
• A bowl for mixing the ingredients
• Oven paper
• Transparent paper
• One roller
• Wooden spoon and stirring rod for manual beating
• A Mixer (optional)
• Moulds with shapes (optional)

How to Make Marijuana Cookies Step-by-Step

As I’ve already told you, making marijuana cookies is very simple and you don’t need more than 30 minutes to prepare them (depending on your cooking skills). But let’s get to the important thing, the steps to make marijuana cookies:

Step 1: In a saucepan, put the butter to melt and when it is ready, add the marijuana previously grinded and decarboxylated. Put it on a low flame so it doesn’t burn.

Step 2: When the butter is ready, or we have melted the purchased marijuana butter, strain it into a bowl.

Step 3: Add sugar and eggs and beat well. While stirring, add the flour. If you want and to avoid lumps, you can pass the blender for a moment. Once we have a compact dough left, it’s time to add the extra ingredients we talked about before (chocolate, some aroma, etc…)

Step 4: Cover the bowl with transparent paper and place it in the oven while it is heated to 140 degrees.

Step 5: Remove the baking tray from the oven, place the baking paper and start making small balls with the dough already cold. The next step is to crush those little balls you’ve made with the help of a roller. And, from here, you can do two things: put them directly into the oven or, using molds with shapes, to give your biscuits shape you like the most. It may sound very sappy, but if you’ve used marijuana desserts before which make you happy, the evening can be very, very funny.

Step 6: Whether or not you have made shapes, place them in the oven for about 15 minutes. You’ll know they’re made because they start to brown. Don’t leave them much longer, because they can harden a lot.

How to make marijuana cookies without oven

Actually, the recipe for cannabis cookies with or without oven, is not very different, although the flavor or the final result is not the same, the truth is that they are just as good. However, since we like to be able to give you a lot of ideas, let’s go with a slightly different recipe for oatmeal and chocolate marijuana cookies, for which you’ll need:

Actually, the recipe for cannabis cookies with or without oven, is not very different, although the flavor or the final result is not the same, the truth is that they are just as good. However, since we like to be able to give you a lot of ideas, let’s go with a slightly different recipe for oatmeal and chocolate marijuana cookies, for which you’ll need:

• One cup (it will serve as a meter)
• One cup of sugar (white)
• One cup of milk
• One cup of cannabis butter
• Four tablespoons of cocoa powder
• Half cup of peanut butter cream
• Three cups of instant oatmeal
• One coffee spoon with vanilla or cinnamon extract.

Of course, also the stuff we mentioned above for making cookies. And what are the next steps? Very easy; take notes:

Step 1: Mix the sugar, milk, cocoa and butter in a saucepan, and let the blend boiling for half a minute.

Step 2: After this time, remove the saucepan and add the peanut butter, oatmeal and the aroma we have chosen.

Step 3: From the mixture we’ve made, we make balls to place them on a tray with baking paper, so that it does not stain, for later let them cool and harden until they are to our liking, and ready to eat.

Step 3b: The flavor of the cookies without baking does not appeal to everyone, so you always have the option of putting them in the microwave, about 5 minutes, at medium power (this will vary depending on each microwave) to have the texture more like traditional homemade cookies.

How to make vegan pot cookies

Vegans also have the whole right to enjoy some delicious marijuana cookies, but, using other ingredients, so whether you are a vegan or not, we also offer you this rich and simple recipe for cannabis cookies to make at home.

You’ll need to prepare:

• 1 Glass of sugar
• ½ glass of almond milk
• 3 tablespoons soluble cocoa
• 140 ml of coconut oil with cannabis infusion (so that we can decarboxylate marijuana and benefit from its THC).
• 1 tablespoon of starch
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla, cinnamon or other natural flavor you like
• 1 tablespoon of yeast
• A pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons of water
• 50 g of brown or cane sugar

Once we have all the ingredients, the next steps are as follows:

Step 1: while the oven is pre-heating to 200 degrees we make the infusion of the coconut oil and cannabis tea in a saucepan (not recommended to make it  in the microwave)

Step 2: Mix the sugar, milk, starch, water, the aroma we have chosen, and add the infusion over the mixture. Mix flour, yeast and cocoa in another bowl.

Step 3: When both masses are ready, pour the liquid one over the solid one and knead it with your hands. You could do it with a rod, but doing it this way you won’t pass the heat from your hands into the dough. When it’s mixed, you can add cocoa nuggets or any other nut you like. We allow the dough stand.

Step 4: In the meantime, take a baking tray, wrap it with baking paper and make balls with your hand or with the help of a soup spoon.

Step 5: When you are finished with the balls, place them in the oven for 10-15 minutes.

Things before eating marijuana cookies

As you may know and as we have already mentioned in other recipes, smoking marijuana is not the same as eating it, so you should be much more cautious when using it. In the case of these cookies, and especially if you are not in the habit of eating them, we advise you not to eat more than 1 or 2 before you see the effect they will have on you. That the effect can take from 30 minutes to 2 hours, so even if you feel like another one, you’d better wait. We want you to have fun!

Of course, and although we hate to mention it, you also know that cannabis and alcohol are not best friends, so even if you’re laughing with your colleagues, as much, you may take a glass of wine or one beer. But It would be better to avoid it, though the risk you take, is only up to you. Our responsibility is to give you the best recommendations.
