Plus, for those interested in adding a unique twist, we’ve got some additional tips on how to infuse these cookies with marijuana for an elevated experience.

Ingredients:

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons of your favorite dried herbs (such as lavender, chamomile, or mint), finely ground
  • Zest of one lemon or orange (optional, for added flavor)

For Marijuana Infusion (optional):

  • 1/2 cup cannabis-infused butter (use your preferred method for making cannabis butter)
  • Adjust dosage to your preference (always consume responsibly)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking mat.

  1. Cream the butter and sugar:

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it becomes light and fluffy. This should take around 2-3 minutes.

  1. Add eggs and vanilla:

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  1. Combine dry ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and your choice of finely ground dried herbs. If desired, add the citrus zest for an extra burst of flavor.

  1. Mix wet and dry ingredients:

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want a cookie dough that’s just combined and slightly crumbly.

  1. Shape the cookies:

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.

  1. Bake:

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn a light golden brown.

  1. Cool:

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Additional Tips for Marijuana-Infused Herbal Cookies:

For those looking to elevate their cookie experience, here are some tips on infusing these herbal cookies with marijuana:

  1. Prepare Cannabis Butter: To make cannabis-infused butter, follow your preferred method, such as decarboxylating your cannabis and then simmering it in butter for several hours. Strain out the plant material and use the infused butter in place of regular butter in the recipe.
  2. Dosage: Calculate the dosage of marijuana carefully and start with a lower amount if you’re new to edibles. The effects of edibles can take some time to kick in, so be patient and avoid consuming more until you feel the full effect.
  3. Label and Store: If you have leftovers, make sure to clearly label them as “edibles” and store them out of reach of children and pets.
  4. Enjoy Responsibly: Remember to consume marijuana responsibly and be aware of the legal regulations in your area.

With these herbal cookies, you can savor the delicious flavors of your favorite herbs and, if you choose, add a touch of relaxation to your culinary experience. Whether you’re enjoying these cookies for their herbal goodness or their marijuana infusion, remember to savor each bite and share them with friends who appreciate the magic of herbal treats.

So, gather your ingredients, infuse as desired, and indulge in a delightful journey of flavors and relaxation with these Herbal Cookies. Happy baking and enjoy responsibly!
