Tips for making the best chocolate chip cannabiscookies

‍

Do not skip on salt and vanilla - It doesn’t sound like much of an addition, but it makes all the difference in your final bake. DO NOT SKIP on these key ingredients! They are the key to that perfect balance in flavours

‍

Use cannabutter - Simply swap any oil or butter in a cookie recipe for cannabutter and you'll tadaaa, you'll have cananbis infused cookies. notes on how to make cannabutter can be found in my Fudgy Cannabis Brownie recipe or scroll down below

‍

Do not overmix your batter - Overmixing your batter will cause your cookies to spread out too thinly in the oven, giving you a flatter and crispier cookie

‍

Chill your cookie dough before baking - This sounds excessive but allowing your cookie dough to chill in the fridge for a few hours before baking allows for the flavours to settle in and for the butter to harden again. Once you bake your chilled dough, you will get the perfect height and spread of your dough. Not chilling the dough makes the cookies spread too much in the oven and they just won’t have the same intensity of flavour

‍

‍Do not overbake - When these cookies come out of the oven, they tend to look a bit underbaked. However, cookies always continue to cook through once they are out of the oven. Usually, a cookie will take up to 20 minutes after it has been taken out of the oven to be completely done cooking, chilling, setting and being ready to eat.

‍

Allow your cookies to cool completely - Due to the above, not allowing your cookies to cool properly will halt the final stages of its cooking process and leave you with underbaked cookies. I know it’s hard, but let your cookies rest at least 10 minutes before digging in!

‍

Can you freeze these cookies?

Absolutely! I would recommend freezing to pre-scoop your dough into cookie dough balls and place them in a ziplock freezer-safe bag. These stay fresh for up to 3 months in the freezer and you can basically bake them on demand! Frozen cookie dough balls will create a slightly thicker cookie but definitely just as tasty. Either allow your cookie dough to come to room temperature (about 30 ish minutes) and bake according to instructions, or bake a bit longer directly from frozen. Just look for those crispy edges & gooey middle to take them out of the oven.

How to store these cannabis chocolate chip cookies

These cookies are definitely at their best on the day that they are baked. I would not recommend baking these cookies ahead of time as they tend to go slightly stale after 2 days. You can keep them ‘fresh’ in an airtight container for up to 3 days. However, I would recommend baking and consuming them on the same day or within 2 days. 

Because of this, I highly recommend keeping your freezer stocked with this cookie dough so you can simply bake them on-demand.

How to make Cannabutter

Making your own cannabutter may sound like a daunting task, but it is actually super easy! It is obviously a MUST addition to these cookies, so it is highly recommended to get a hang of this. Just follow these simple steps and you’ll be good to go:

1. I use a 1,5gr original haze to 180gr butter ratio
2. Grind your original haze into small pieces or use a pestle and mortar to break it down. Make sure to clean your pestle and mortar thoroughly before and after use
3. Slowly melt your butter. It is very important not to rush this process as overheating your cannabis will reduce its THC levels
4. Add your ground cannabis to your butter and on the lowest heat possible, let the cannabis infuse into the butter for 1 hour to make your cannabutter. Make sure the butter does not boil and stir consistently
5. Leaving the butter on the stove for 1 hour might cause some water to evaporate, meaning you'll end up with less than 180gr of butter
6. Allow the butter to cool and then it's ready to use

‍

Calculating your THC levels

Before you start cooking, it’s good to realise that there is a limit to the fun of these brownies. This means that you should be careful with how much cannabis you add to your brownies. The dosage of 1,5gr Original Haze has been carefully calculated to not overdue the dosage and hit that sweet spot per portion. But remember, everybody respons differently to cannabis depending on so many factors (metabolism, weight, tolerance etc.)

Example: If you use 1gr of cannabis with 20% THC you got 200mg THC. If this recipe gives you 10 portions that means you have 20mg THC per cookie.

Baking time and oven temperature

Baking time and oven temperature may vary depending on the oven you are using.  All oven temperatures in my recipes are based on a conventional oven. If you bake with a fan assisted oven, turn down the temperature slightly as these ovens tend to become hotter than a conventional oven at that temperature setting. Ovens have the tendency to deviate from the temperature you set the oven to. I would highly recommend using an oven thermometer to ensure the inside of your oven is at the right temperature. My oven for example only goes up to 160C even though I turn it up to 230C 

‍

An oven that is too hot may result in an overbaked or burnt bake and an oven that is too cold may result in underbaked and soggy bakes. Having the thermometer will not only help in getting the right temperature but also helps in determining the right baking time.
