Let's whip up some delicious cookies with a fun twist—infused with THCA flower! Here’s a recipe that combines classic cookie goodness with a bit of herbal flair.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1-2 grams of THCA flower (decarboxylated into THC by gently heating if desired or leave raw for THCA)
- Parchment paper
Instructions:
- Prep the THCA flower:
- Grind the THCA flower finely. For THCA cookies, use as is. If you want to convert it to THC, decarboxylate by baking at 220°F (105°C) for 30-40 minutes. See here for full instructions.
- Infuse the butter:
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and add the ground THCA flower. Simmer gently for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be sure not to overheat. Once done, strain the butter through cheesecloth to remove plant material. Allow the infused butter to cool.
- Prepare the cookie dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the infused butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, beating until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake the cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
- Cool and enjoy:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve:
- Serve your THCA-infused cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage. Enjoy responsibly!
Notes:
- The effects of THCA can vary, so be mindful of the dosage. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your preference and experience.
- These cookies can be made with either THCA or THC, depending on how you prepare the flower.
Bon appétit!
