Hi guys, I'm a newbie to this whole mm thing but I love to experiment and cook! I use 14 grams (1/2 oz) ground bud to 250 grams unsalted butter ... 1/2 lb. Sorry, I'm Australian so converting as I go. I have two family members as my willing patients
I make a batch of basic dough and after I finish I then add more flour so the total weight is 1kg or 1000 grams or a little over two pounds. I then divide the batches in two. To one half I add 2 teaspoons ground ginger mixed with an extra 100 grams of flour for my daughter and to the other 2 teaspoons cinnamon mixed with an extra 100 grams of flour for my grandson's cookies.
I then take the ginger dough and weigh the 600 grams of dough out into 18 cookies each weighing 33 grams as I need the dosage to be predictable. AFTER weighing carefully I then add crystallised ginger and a square of cream cheese and roll each cookie into a ball. The cinnamon cookies are made by the same procedure and finished with sultanas, walnuts and cream cheese. These 36 cookies live happily in the freezer until I cook them fresh every second day or so. I take them straight from the freezer to the oven and cook them for 11 minutes.
The last batch I made directly after making some vg/pg tincture for my daughters ecig and some cannabutter and was feeling ripped off by the return harvest compared to the amount of fats I'd used. I thought, ' I just know there's good stuff left in that squeezed out weed so I tossed all the now squeezed out bud into the mixture and cooked it in the cookies! Guess what? They loved it! The dried out stuff weighed 40 grams ... Well over an ounce. Yes, the cookies were stronger. Don't throw out that good bud .... cook it! I had already experimented with some weird 'chocolates' and figured it might do in cookies too. Yell out if you'd like the chocolates recipe.
N.B. The basic mixture can also be made up with white choc bits and dried cranberries which is also good.
Basic dough mix.
225 grams cannabutter
150 grams sugar
160 grams dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon bicarb soda ... ( baking soda )
1/2 teaspoon salt
295 grams all purpose flour
Soften the butter in microwave oven. Add the sugars. Mix well. Beat eggs with the vanilla and mix through. Add any squeezed out bud you may have in the freezer .... I used 40 grams bud to this quantity. Sift flour, baking soda and salt together and add to the mixture. Bake cookies on glad bake lined oven tray for 11 minutes straight out of the freezer. I'll add photos next time I'm on the laptop as my iPad doesn't seem to want to
