Cannabis cookies are one of the most popular ways to consume cannabis in a tasty and discreet way. The combination of crunchy cookies and the calming effect of cannabis makes them a preferred choice for many users. In this blog post, we explain step by step how you can make cannabis cookies yourself.
Why Cannabis Cookies?
Consuming cannabis in edible form has several advantages:
- Discretion: No smoke, no noticeable smells.
- Long-lasting effect: Compared to smoking or vaporizing, the effect is slower but lasts longer.
- Easy dosing: With the right preparation, you can precisely control the dosage.
Ingredients for Cannabis Cookies
To bake cannabis cookies, you need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup (about 230 g) cannabutter (see instructions below)
- 2 cups (about 250 g) flour
- 1 cup (about 200 g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (about 100 g) white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (about 150 g) chocolate chips (optional)
making cannabutter
The basis for cannabis cookies is cannabutter. Here's how to make them:
-
Decarboxylation:
- Preheat the oven to 110-120°C.
- Spread ground cannabis (about 7-10g) on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes. This converts THCA into THC.
-
Heat butter:
- Melt 1 cup butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Add the decarboxylated cannabis.
- Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 hours without letting it boil.
-
Filter:
- Pour the mixture through a fine sieve or cloth to remove plant debris.
- Allow the cannabutter to cool and store it in the refrigerator.
Preparation of the Cannabis Cookies

Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Make the dough:
- Mix the cannabutter, brown sugar and white sugar in a bowl until creamy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture.
- Optional: Fold in chocolate chips.
-
Shaping and Baking:
- Form small balls from the dough and place them on the baking tray with enough space between them.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
