What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ cup cannabis-infused butter (see our blog post on how to make cannabis-infused butter)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (optional for a milder infusion)
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup molasses
- 1 large egg
For Decorating (Optional):
- Royal icing or pre-made icing
- Sprinkles or candies
Let’s Bake!
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cannabis butter, unsalted butter (if using), and brown sugar together until fluffy.
3. Add Wet Ingredients
Mix in the molasses and egg until well combined.
4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to make rolling easier.
5. Roll and Cut Shapes
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Use holiday-themed cookie cutters to create shapes like gingerbread people, snowflakes, or trees.
6. Bake
Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are firm. Let the cookies cool completely before decorating.
7. Decorate (Optional but Fun!)
Use royal icing or store-bought icing to decorate your cookies with festive designs. Add sprinkles or candies for extra holiday flair.
Dosing Tips
- The potency of your cookies will depend on the strength of your cannabutter and how many cookies you make.
- A good starting point is around 5mg of THC per cookie. Adjust the amount of cannabis butter in the recipe accordingly.
- Always label infused cookies and store them securely, especially if children or pets are around.
