💡 Special Tips for Cannabis Cookie Recipe
- Know Your Cannabutter Strength
Before I bake, I always test my cannabutter. A small taste helps me estimate how strong each cookie will be. If it’s too potent, I mix it with regular butter to tone it down. - Start with a Low Dose
I aim for about 5–10mg of THC per cookie. It’s a safe place to start, especially if you’re new to edibles. You can always eat more later—but you can’t uneat a strong cookie. - Mix Evenly
I make sure the cannabutter blends evenly with the sugar and eggs. This helps avoid uneven dosing where one cookie is super strong and another barely does anything. - Don’t Overheat the Cannabutter
High heat can destroy the cannabinoids. I keep the oven at 350°F and don’t melt the cannabutter in a pan before mixing—room temp works best for me. - Wait Before Reaching for a Second Cookie
Edibles take time. I always wait at least 60 to 90 minutes before eating another cookie. The effects sneak up slowly but last longer than smoking or vaping. - Label and Store Safely
I always label my cannabis treats clearly and keep them out of reach of kids or pets. A cute cookie jar won’t protect you from an accident—clear labels will. - Freeze the Extras
These cookies freeze really well. I keep a few on hand for lazy nights when I want to relax without baking all over again.
