THC Dark Chocolate Cookies

If you’ve read any of our recipe blogs before, you’ll know that we love chocolate. Like, really LOVE chocolate. So, when we had the opportunity to whip up a batch of cannabis infused dark chocolate cookies, we couldn’t resist.

We suggest sprinkling on extra dark chocolate chunks (in addition to the chocolate chips) once the cookies come out of the oven to make these truly decadent. One can never have too much chocolate!

Cannabis Infusion

While there are a few different ways to infuse any recipe with cannabis, we love using cannabutter (cannabis infused butter). It is one of the best ways to ensure equal distribution of the cannabis and gives the cookies a delightful taste and fragrance. You can find our recipe for cannabutter HERE.

As always, remember to test your batch of cannabutter before making the cookies so you know how much to use. You can always mix cannabutter and regular butter if you want lower dose cookies. Once cooked, be sure to start with a small piece of cookie to gauge the potency. Wait 60-90 minutes before having a second dose to ensure that your body has had a chance to absorb the THC before you go inhaling another delicious cookie!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
