Well, I personally don’t know who this ‘we’ is, but I’m down for eating cookies all year round.

Sugar cookies are a staple during the cold months, and after the hustle and bustle of December, who doesn’t need a bit of elevation.

Enter: Cannabis-infused sugar cookies.

These THC-rich treats will have you calm, cool, and collected in no time.

There’s no need to wait for World Baking Day to create these bad boys!

Because I am no master-baker, I’ve hunted down the top recipes so you can easily make your own medicated treats.

You can infuse both the butter and sugar, or just stick to one- the choice is yours!

I’ve put in the hours, and have done the research. All you have to do is follow the steps, and let me know how they turned out!!

This article will cover how to make:

• Cannabis-infused sugar
• Cannabis-infused butter
• Delicious sugar cookies

Alrighty, let’s get down to it!

Cannabis Infused Sugar Recipe

The recipe below is written by Ben Hartman. It goes into full detail on how to make cannabis infused sugar. Click the link to read his tips and tricks to properly infuse sugar with cannabis.

Here is a summary:

Ingredients

• 8th (3.5 grams) of high-quality cannabis
• 1 cup grain alcohol
• 1 cup granulated (white) sugar
• Cheesecloth
• Glass Jar

Directions

1. After decarboxylating your cannabis, pour it into a jar, pour in the alcohol, and close the jar. Let it sit for half an hour while shaking it every couple of minutes.

2. Grab a bowl and strain the cannabis infused liquid through your cheesecloth.

3.Now, add your sugar to the liquid and pour it into a baking dish (glass).

4. Bake it at 200 degrees, stirring it often until the alcohol has evaporated.

5. Wait for the sugar to cool, break up big chunks, and store it in a container.

It’s as simple as that!

Ben’s recipe goes into greater detail about decarboxylation and how much cannabis infused sugar to use when cooking- it’s a great read!

Cannabis Infused Butter Recipe

The recipe I followed for creating cannabutter is written by Lindsey Bartlett. She has created an in-depth article on the do’s and don'ts of infusing butter.

Just like the sugar, you’re going to decarboxylate your cannabis before infusing the butter.

Pro tip: If you plan on infusing both sugar and butter, decarb enough cannabis to follow the recipes so you only have to do it once!

Here is a summary:

Ingredients

• Quarter ounce (7 grams) of high-quality cannabis
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup butter
• Cheesecloth
• Baking sheet (for decarbing)
• A grinder (for decarbing)
• Pot, double broiler, or crockpot
• Glass Jar (for storage)

Directions

1. Decarb your cannabis. You can skip this step if you decarboxylated enough when making the sugar.

2. Begin infusing. Melt the water and butter together in the pot on the stove. Don’t let your butter get too hot.

3. Add your cannabis.

4. Let your cannabutter simmer at 150 degrees for three to four hours- low and slow. (The longer it simmers at a low temperature, the more potent your butter will be)

5. Strain your butter through the cheesecloth into a glass jar. Let it cool for about 30 minutes then refrigerate.

6. Once your cannabutter is solid you can pour excess water out of your jar.

7. Use your cannabis infused butter to make wicked sugar cookies (or anything else you want to bake)
