Hey guys,
For Christmas this year, with money being tight and all, I decided to give a gift that people can actually enjoy: special cookies! This is my recipe and my favorite way to make weed butter / cannabutter.
Step 1: Making the butter
There's about a million recipes for cannabutter, so it's pretty generic. The problem I find is figuring out how much weed to add to the butter. The first time, I made it way too weak. The second time, I made it way too strong (caused a few people to throw up and pass out... I was fine ). This time, it's just right.
I like to use a slow-cooker set to low overnight. You really can't beat the convenience of waking up to a batch of fresh pot butter!
Weigh out your shake, stems, etc. NOTE: I only used about an oz of the shake.
Add sticks of butter to the water and wait for them to melt. I use about 3 cups of water so that when it's done cooking, I can pour the mix into a measuring cup.
Add your product to the butter / water. Let it sit overnight or for a couple hours. I've done 8-hours and 12-hours and they both work about the same.
Once it's done cooking, I run it through a gold coffee filter (the one that comes in the coffee machine, NOT paper ones). Make sure to press the weed with a wooden spoon or something, since a LOT of the butter gets caught in there.
I throw out the leftover weed, and put the measuring cup into the freezer to separate. After a few hours, the butter should be solid while the water is still liquid. Pour out all the nasty water and collect your beautiful block of WEED BUTTER!
Step 2: Christmas Sugar Cookies
Now, here's some advice for the sugar cookie recipe. Typically, you use delicious sweet butter. In our case, the butter tastes a lot like weed. As such, compensate by adding a bit more sugar. I mean, baking doesn't have to be the most precise thing in the world! Here's the recipes I came up with:
SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE:
- 1c canna butter (3 sticks turned out to be about a cup in the end)
- 2-3c flour (I used about 2 1/2 cups)
- 1c sugar (I used about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
That recipe yields about 35 cookies. Most people like to use more flour to butter (makes more cookies -- therefore "weaker" cookies). Since we only have a fixed amount of butter, just add another egg instead to make a larger batch.
WEAKER COOKIE RECIPE:
- 1c canna butter (we cant change this)
- 3-4c flour
- 2 egg (instead of adding more butter)
- 2 tsp vanilla
- etc...
Here's the difference. A light body buzz comes from 1 STRONG cookie or 2 WEAK cookies. I chose to make the strong ones so that it only takes 1 cookie to feel good. 2 STRONG cookies feels great!
So, once you've picked a recipe, make the dough! Make sure you follow an actual recipe since you're supposed to combine the ingredients separately, and sugar cookie dough needs to be worked with while cold. I don't feel like getting into the details here.
Cut them out and put them on a cookie sheet (ungreased / lightly greased).
And then, finally...
Step 3: ENJOY!
Hope you guys like this thread. Trust me, the cookies are delicious (and don't taste TOO much like weed). You can make some icing by mixing icing sugar and milk (and food coloring) but you can also just use cake icing with some food coloring.
