What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ cup cannabis-infused butter (see our blog post on how to make cannabis-infused butter)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (optional for a milder infusion)
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup molasses
- 1 large egg
For Decorating (Optional):
- Royal icing or pre-made icing
- Holiday sprinkles or candies
Let’s Bake!
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cannabis butter, unsalted butter (if using), and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add Wet Ingredients
Mix in the molasses and egg until well combined.
4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to make rolling easier.
5. Roll and Cut Shapes
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to create holiday shapes like gingerbread people, snowflakes, or trees.
6. Bake
Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are firm. Let the cookies cool completely before decorating.
7. Decorate (Optional but Fun!)
Add a festive touch with icing, sprinkles, or candies. Let your creativity shine and make your cookies the star of any holiday gathering.
Dosing Tips
- The potency of your cookies depends on the strength of your cannabis-infused butter and the number of cookies you make.
- A good starting dose is around 5mg THC per cookie. Adjust the amount of cannabis butter in the recipe as needed to achieve the desired potency.
- Always label infused cookies and store them securely to avoid accidental consumption.
Why These Cookies Are Perfect for the Holidays
Cannabis-infused gingerbread cookies are a festive way to combine holiday traditions with a modern twist. They’re great for gifting to your cannabis-loving friends or enjoying on your own with a warm beverage. Pair them with a cup of spiced cider or hot cocoa for a cozy, elevated holiday treat.
