About The Recipe
Cannabis infused cookies are one of my favourite edibles to make because they are one of the easiest ways to dose each piece accurately! With baked goods, it sometimes may be difficult to know the exact dose per serving because the cannabis is generally spread amongst the batter and baked into one whole thing, but with cookies, because they are portioned out into individual cookies, you can accurately divide cannabis into each piece.
In this recipe, I will teach you how to make cookies with cannabis oil. The trick to accurate dosing is simple — simply make balls of cookie dough and add cannabis oil directly to each individual ball using a dropper tool. This will ensure that each cookie is dosed accurately.
Brownie Cookies?
The brownie cookie is more of a modern fusion of the classic treats; brownies and cookies. Its exact origins are not really documented but it seems to just be a product of the growing trend to combine different types of baking - a new one lately is the crookie (croissant/cookie).
Brownies themselves originated in the United States sometime between the late 1800s and early 1900s shockingly enough. Yep - they’re that old. If you can think up a combination of two sweet treats you can probably bet its been tried before! The brownie cookie is just one of the success stories out there.

Ingredient Substitutions
- Butter: Personally, I think one of the keys to a good cookie is the butter but not everyone can eat it! Feel free to swap out the butter for a plant-based butter alternative to cater to any allergies or dietary restrictions.
- Egg: Did you know applesauce can be used as a replacement for eggs in any baking recipes? Weird I know, and you don’t taste any apple flavor from it either.
- Milk: I like to use regular cows milk for my baking ingredients but feel free to substitute the cows milk for any dairy-free alternative you might like.
TIPS & TRICKS
- Let your egg sit out until room temperature - this allows for better blending with the rest of the ingredients
- When adding in the white chocolate chips, if you’re a chocolate lover, measure with your heart!

FAQ
Q: Do I have to use cannabis oil?
A: If you want to ensure a perfectly even dosage in each cookie, I’d recommend the oil but if you don’t mind as much about consistency with dosing, feel free to use a canna butter instead!
Q: How will these cookies take to kick in?
A: Cannabis cookies are cannabis edibles, which means that they have to be ingested and processed by your liver before heading up to your blood brain barrier. The onset of cannabis edibles can range from person to person, and can also be impacted by a variety of factors, such as one’s metabolism. Generally cannabis edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes all the way to 2 hours for the onset, and the experience can last between 4 to 12 hours.
Q: How long will these cookies last?
A: These cookies will last for about a week! If you find yourself having more left than you need, I’d recommend freezing some and pulling them out and reheating as you need to satisfy that craving.
