Ingredients

For the Cannabutter

  • .32 g buds marijuana strain of choice I used 14% THC 1%CBD Tangerine Dream
  • 50 g refined coconut oil

For the cookies

  • 1 tbsp ground flax meal
  • 4 tbsp warm water
  • 150 g Earth Balance vegan butter
  • 50 g cannabutter
  • 150 g brown sugar
  • 150 g white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp sunflower lecithin or 2 tsp soy lecithin granules
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 350 g all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup vegan mini chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1 tbsp fleur de sel

Instructions

To Make the Cannabutter

  • Preheat oven to 245F.
  • Grind .32 g marijuana and spread out on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Toast ground marijuana in oven for 30 min.
  • Remove from oven and transfer to a pot with 50 g coconut oil and infuse over very low heat, being careful not to heat oil above 200F. Let infuse for 3-7 hours. (At the very least, about 3 hours, ideally around 6).
  • Strain with a cheesecloth or a fine mesh sieve and discard solids. Let cannabutter solidify at room temperature (or you can expedite this by sticking it in the fridge).

For the cookies

  • Make the flax egg by combining flax meal and warm water in a small bowl and mix well. Let gel for about 5 min.
  • Using an electric beater or stand mixer, beat Earth Balance vegan butter, cannabutter, brown sugar and white sugar until pale and fluffy (about 4-5 mins). Add vanilla extract, flax egg, and sunflower lecithin and beat for another 3-4 minutes, scraping down sides to ensure everything is evenly incorporated and the mixture is very light and fluffy.
  • Add baking powder, baking soda, flour, and kosher salt. Beat until almost all incorporated, then add chocolate chips and stir to incorporate (be careful not to overmix).
  • Use a spatula to fold everything together to incorporate any last bits of flour and evenly disperse the chocolate chips.
  • Use a 1.5 Tbsp cookie scoop to make ~32 cookies. Add a sprinkle of fleur de sel on top of each dough ball prior to baking if desired. To prevent extra spreading, you can freeze before baking.
  • Bake for 8 min at 350F, leaving 1.5 inches between each dough ball. Remove from oven and let cool for 1 min, then remove from baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack.
  • Enjoy responsibly!
