Quick & Easy Guide: Sugar Cookie Edibles Recipe

How to Make Homemade Sugar Cookie Edibles

This is a quick and easy recipe for making delicious cannabis sugar cookies. The recipe includes only 8 ingredients, and also is completed in just a little over 10 simple steps. This recipe will make 48 sugar cookies, and should take 60 minutes or less, start to finish.



What Ingredients you will need:
  • 1/8 cup (~2 tablespoons) cannabis coconut oil (~26 grams)
  • 1 & 3/4 sticks of unsalted butter (regular, non-canna butter 😆)
  • 2 & 3/4 cups of flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 & 1/2 cups of white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

What supplies you will need:
  • measuring cups and spoons (cup, 1/4 cup, 1 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon)
  • solid wooden spoon (strong for enough to mix the dough)
  • spatula
  • digital scale
  • mixing bowls
  • cooking tray
  • oven mitten
Optional items:
  • parchment paper
  • whisk
  • silicone baking mats
Total time: ~ 30-60 minutes

Total cookies: ~ 4 dozen

Directions:

While the video does break the process down into over 10 steps, don't be fooled, this is a very easy to do recipe.

Start by adding the dry ingredients together. So that's the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar. I whisk this all together for a bit, but that isn't a required step. 

Next add the egg, vanilla and butter and cannabutter. Make sure the butter has been given time to soften to room temperature. This makes the mixing step a whole lot easier. 

How much Cannabutter to use???
This recipe called for 2 sticks of butter, which also 1 cup or 16 tablespoons. So the amount of canna-butter you add is up to you. Just remember the more you add the stronger each cookie will be.

Coconut Canna oil conversion
1 tablespoon (1/16 cup), weighs about 14 grams or 15 ml
2 tablespoons (1/8 cup), weighs about 27 grams or 30ml
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup), weighs about 54 grams or 60ml

After you have mixed the cookie dough, you can go right into cutting the dough into cookies to cook, or you can put the dough into the refrigerator to cool and firm up. This step is optional and will increase the overall cooking time. However I find this process to make the dough easier to work with, and you can also clean the kitchen and pre-heat the oven while the dough cools. Your choice!

Now you're ready to make the dough into cookies. First lightly grease the cookie tray, but this isn't needed if you have a silicone baking mat. Pre-heat the oven to 350-375. Next begin cutting the dough into equal sizes. The goal here is to make 4 dozen cookies of equal weight. That way each will have the same amount of cannabutter. If you really want to be exact a cooking scale will help you with this step. 

Once you have them cut and on the cookie tray, in the pre-heated oven your cookies go! They will need around 10 minutes depending on your oven. The goal is to get them to bake until just before they turn golden brown. Remember - golden good, Golden brown ok, brown not so good! Over cooking or burning them will not just ruin the sugar cookie, but also burn away the THC.

Once they are cooked to your desired amount. The sugar cookies just need about 15 minutes to sit in the cookie tray and then can be served, stored and even frozen for later. 

Enjoy!!!

Quick & Easy Guide: How to make Cannabis Chocolate - Cannabis Edible Recipe




How to Make Homemade Cannabis Chocolate Edibles

This is a quick and easy recipe for making delicious cannabis chocolate bars. The recipe includes only 5 ingredients, and also is completed in just 5 simple steps. And really takes between 1-2 hours start to finish.




What Ingredients you will need:
  • 1/4 cup cannabis coconut oil (~50 grams)
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
optional ingredients:
  • nuts
  • fruits & berries (dried or fresh)
  • peanut butter
  • pieces of chocolate
What Supplies you will need:
  • measuring cups and spoons (cup, 1/4 cup, 1/2 teaspoon, 1/2 tablespoon)
  • fork or spoon
  • spatula
  • digital scale
  • pyrex bowl
  • frying pan or flat bottomed pan
  • oven mitten
  • 24 oz (710mL) tupperware
optional items:
  • parchment paper
  • whisk
Total time: ~ 45 - 120 minutes 
  • depends on how long the chocolate bar is allowed to cool during step 5
So, lets start making some homemade cannabis chocolate bars

Step 1: Measuring

Start by measuring and adding each of the ingredients (cacao powder, cannabis coconut oil, maple syrup, honey, vanilla extract) into the pyrex bowl.

We recommend using a scale for measuring out the cannabis coconut oil. It is a great tool for determining approximate strength of your edibles.

See determining strength & potency below for more information.


Step 2: Heating & Mixing

Once all of the ingredients are in the pyrex bowl. Heat a frying pan on medium heat and add water into the pan. Place the pyrex bowl into the frying pan. You want a decent amount of water to be in the frying pan at all times. However not enough so that it will overflow once the water comes to a full boil. Depending on the heat setting, you may need to reapply water to the pan during this step.

Remember to only use glassware that is heat tempered such as pyrex glass. If you are not sure, use a smaller sauce pan instead of the glass bowl. As long as water can boil between them it will work fine.

Using a spoon or fork or whisk, begin to mix the ingredients. The cannabis coconut oil and other liquids will begin to turn the cacao powder into a gel. Continue to stir vigorously throughout this process.

Should the mixture be overly soupy or oily, add more cacao powder in small amounts.
Should the mixture be too crumbly and dry add more regular coconut oil (non-cannabis).

Most importantly, be aware of the temperature, as you do not want to burn the chocolate. You are simply trying to melt all of the ingredients evenly.


Step 3: Pouring the Cannabis Chocolate

Once all of the ingredients have dissolved, you are ready to pour the cannabis chocolate into your tupperware container. Turn off the stove and using the oven mittens and a spatula, carefully pour into the tupperware. The spatula will help you retrieve all that was in the pyrex bowl and also level out the bar.

Be careful here as the bowl will still be quite hot to the touch.

Avoid spilling the chocolate on the upper part of the tupperware as it will not be part of the finished molding at the bottom.


Step 4: Freezing the Cannabis Chocolate Bar

Depending on how cold your fridge / freezer is, this step can take around 30-60 minutes. If you are not in a rush to make use of your homemade cannabis chocolate edible it can stay in the freezer for months.









Step 5: Scoring the Cannabis Chocolate Bar for Proper Dosing

This is actually one of the most crucial steps in this process, aside from standard safety while cooking. Once the bar has had time to harden you need to score the bar into even parts.

This is really important so that you and everyone who enjoys this bar knows approximately how much they are ingesting. For reference I tend to break it down into 20 or 25 equal pieces.

It is always possible to eat more should you realize the dosing is too weak for your needs. Please be careful and do not overdose yourself or others.

Determining Strength and Potency of your Cannabis Chocolate Edible

Say you use 1 oz of cannabis flower to make a pound of coconut butter. That means you should be 1oz of cannabis distributed throughout that 1 lb of canna coco oil.

This recipe uses 50g of canna coco oil. Which is approximately 1/10th of that 1 lb of oil. So you can assume the entire cannabis chocolate bar will then contain approximately 1/10th of an ounce of cannabis or roughly 2.8 grams

And by breaking the bar into equal parts, let's say 4 parts, you then can predict the approximate strength from what it started at. In this example each piece of the bar would contain around 0.7 grams of active cannabis oil.

Everyone responds to edibles differently. So until you know your own tolerance, start with smaller doses.

Additional Notes
  • Long-term Storage: the 24oz tupperware is a cost effective method for creating the chocolate molds, and using the recipe above you can also fit 4 bars into a single tupperware. In the freezer these bars can last for at least 6 months.
  • When using Fruit & Berries: keep in mind that fruit and berries can reduce the shelf-life of your chocolate edibles. They should be always refrigerated, and consumed in no more than 1-2 weeks. Freeze your cannabis chocolate bar for longer storage.
