These are gluten-free, almond butter cookies that contain 2 ounces of cannabis pulp.
I have added 1 ounce (or 30 grams) of Chem Dawg and 1 ounce (or 30 grams) of a strain called Teslin.
This "cannabis pulp" is the left-over bud material that is a by-product of infusing coconut oil.
Many people think that when they infuse a butter or an oil with cannabis, the cannabis is completely stripped of its potency. This is not the case.
Even After An 8 Hour Infusion
Once strained from the infusion (butter or oil) the remaining cannabis pulp will still contain approximately 48% of its original psycho-active, capability. The pulp freezes really well so you don't have to bake with it on the same day that you strain it from your infusion. I often just label the container with the name of the strain and I freeze 1 ounce (or 30 grams) in each small freezer-safe container. This makes it easier to measure when you do want to make a medicated edible.
Cannabis Pulp Is Perfect To Use In Baking
Start by gathering the ingredients.
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup of gluten-free all purpose flour (I use Bob's Red Mill.)
- 1/2 cup of finely ground walnuts
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Pink Himalayan salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips + 1/4 cup to garnish
Directions:
Add all the dry ingredients (with the exception of the baking soda) to the bowl of a food processor and blend to combine. Set the blended dry ingredients aside in another bowl.
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 tsp of hot water mixed with the baking soda
- 3/4 cup of maple syrup
- 1/2 cup of almond butter
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 2 eggs (at room temperature)
- 2 oz of cannabis pulp (The strains of your choice.)
- 2 tsp of pure vanilla extract
Directions:
Mix the baking soda with the hot water in a small glass and set aside. Add all the ingredients (except the cannabis pulp and the baking soda water) to the bowl of the food processor and blend well. Add the baking soda water and blend again. Then add the cannabis pulp and blend really well.
Add 3/4 of a cup of chocolate chips to the top of the batter in the bowl of the food processor. Just pulse this into the batter in 3 pulses. The goal is to leave the chips intact.
Place the batter in the fridge and let it chill for 1 hour. (Yes, a whole hour.)
While you wait for the batter to chill, prepare your cookie sheet by oiling it and lining it with parchment paper. (Don't forget to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F once you take the batter out of the fridge.)
Once chilled, drop batter onto the baking sheet using a generous tsp amount. Garnish the top of each cookie with 3 whole chocolate chips. Bake for 13 minutes but watch them carefully after the 9 minute mark. You want to take them out, just as they are starting to brown around the edges. Let them start to cool on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes before you move them to a cooling rack.
This recipe yields 40 soft and chewy cookies, that freeze really well and are meant to be safely enjoyed one at a time. They can be stored in an air-tight container to keep them soft and chewy. ;)
I welcome your comments and I invite you to follow me on my journey...move over Kebbler Elves. I know you've been on the cookie block since 1853, but it's time to step up the cookie game. ;)

I like the process that you have shown to us to make "cannabis cookies." And gluten free too. What's not to like for nearly anyone?
As much as I love to look at your photos and look at all the ingredients. Nothing like that will be made in this house.
Oh well. We can't have everything. And I am too lazy to fix it for myself. Ha.
Would the day come that we can just pay someone to do what we cannot or won't do for ourselves. We can dream anyway.
So delicious to look at. Yet so far away. Sigh.............@rebecca
Francis
Not to worry Francis, just leave the cannabis out and you can still make an excellent, soft, chewy chocolate chip cookie, following the same recipe. ;)
Rebecca
I am sad tonight. I will post about it tomorrow. No. No one is hurt or sick. Just my trading feelings. Ha
You once sent to me an "Amazing Grace" video. I loved it.
Here is one of the best singers in the world to sing that song.
I will post another song tomorrow singing my sorrow. lol
Amira Willighagen
Sorry to be off topic. Forgive.
Francis
What a beauty Francis!
How powerful that would feel to experience it live.
It's amazing to me what "some" human bodies are capable of.
It sounds like you had quite a frustrating day...between trying to move back into your house after being away for 4 months or so, getting your internet to work and having to replace a refrigerator.
I guess trading didn't go so well either...
Tomorrow will be another opportunity. Let it redeem you.
It's mental slavery. I wish you freedom from the tortures of your own mind.
PS: If I could give you a Marley cookie, right now I would. ;)
A Marley cookie for the little boy. Oh yes. Sometimes I feel so small.
I liked your song. I know. I am dragging you off topic. Sorry.
Thank you for understanding. Tomorrow is a "redemption day"for me.
Francis
No. not a cookie for a little boy, a cookie to ease the gut-wrenching pain that a very good MAN feels when he THINKS he has let himself and the people that he cares about down. I wish you didn't feel sick over this. You haven't let anybody down. To do your job, you have to take risks. Some will work out and some won't. Obviously we want the risks to pay off, instead of costing, but I think some days are just naturally going to fall on the costing side. Yes, tomorrow will be the redemption. ;)
thank you ! @francisk :-) needed this this morning, without you knowing, you made me happy i hope it helps you to feel better. I wonder do we all have that feeling with this song? when it is sung as nice as this. My hairs come straight up, i feel shivers going over my body, and water behind my eyes trying to burst out, feel so small with this !
Thank you so much for your kind words of thanks.
That is what we all try to do on Steemit. Is to lift each other up.
Such a good friend. We all love her.@janine-ariane @rebeccaryan is one of the best on Steemit too.
Francis
i noticed that :-) i am joining that club...
I love it when they are soft and chewy my friend! Just wondering if the effect of the cannabis is affected at what temperature? Would like to know more on this!
The simple answer is yes. There are 111 known medicinal cannabinoids in the plant that we know of so far. Each one has a slightly different temperature that they activate at. Most are in 10-15 degrees of each other with the exception of CBD. It takes one of the hottest temperatures 265 -295 F for a much longer time 60-75 minutes as opposed to 240 F for 45 minutes. This is why decarbing in advance of cooking or baking with it is a critical step. You'd never bake cookies for 45 minutes in a hot oven because there would only be charred remains left. ;)Hi @progressivechef!
Thanks so much for the clear explanation my friend, you are always so helpful to everyone!
You rock my friend!

Hi @rebeccaryan nice works ;)
Nobody can see your posts or comments. You're welcome!!
I'm not a fan of down voting for no good reason and I'm giving you an opportunity to explain why you choose this action on my recipe post, before I take further actions of my own.
I also see that you have upvoted your own comment.
RebeccaI don't know why you have chosen to down-vote someone for a benign comment on my post @steemservices.... @allabout is a friend of mine and I see nothing wrong with the comment that was left for me.
Take further action of your own? Go fuck yourself @rebeccaryan.
Hahahaha! Oh, @berniesanders why didn't you say it was you!? Good to hear from you, it's been ages.
Kisses!
they are hackers whos manipulating for money on everything in steemit.
Thanks for having a look at my recipe and commenting @allabout!
I hope that I will eat that eating, it is many comments when some thank them in a big way, so I want to try to make and eat and then I will tell you Rai
It is possible that you will tell me to cut it and tell me your head on my behalfIn fact my dear friend @rebeccaryan
Ok, I am very nervous for you. To the best of my knowledge, the country you are currently in has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to the herb, cannabis. So, if you do decide to try this recipe you will need to make it without cannabis. The affects of a starter dose of the herb would be the equivalency of have a single shot of hard liquor or a large glass of red wine. The dose in one of these cookies would be equivalent to 6 shots or a bottle and a half of wine. If you and your wife ever come to Canada for a visit, I promise that I will teach you and I will make a gentler dose of these cookies for you to try, my friend. ;)Hi @walidsalah!
Thank you my dear friend
Perhaps the food you have is a bit different from us, but you have to get stuck at some point
Thank you so much
Looks yummy. It's been so long since I've eaten "brownies", I'll have to remember this recipe!
It's a good cookie recipe and will work just as well with or without cannabis. I hope you do give it a whirl sometime @kate-m! :)
Thing is I'm not a natural baker. I hate measuring things out and unless I practice a good bit more I won't get to the stage that I can just gauge things by eye, which is how I do nearly all of my cooking. Making things up as you go along just doesn't give very good results in baking!
Funny @ankitchoudhary! That's exactly how my own eyes look about 2 hours after I eat one of these cookies. LOL!
That's crazy :O I like it. I will definitely try this out! Thank you rebecca! Cookies are one of my favorite! You are an iron chef!@rebeccaryan,
Cheers~
I am very surprised ! The recipe includes a canape, I would like to try it. . Tell me what is his taste? They look very appetizing.
But you must or you'll be high for a long time. The effects of one cookie can last 8 hours. :)They taste like a soft chewy chocolate chip cookie @magnata. The cannabis flavour is completely buried which means that you must exercise caution when eating them because it's hard to stop at one.
Ooooh...I'm all over this, making for Rodney ( and me, of course ;D) this weekend!! Thanks for the recipe <3
I would still blend it together in the wet ingredients and use a food processor so that you can see the oil as it blends into the batter. This will darken your batter and you know that you have achieved an even blend all the way through once you can see that the batter is consistently darker all the way through. This is a critical step to make sure that you don't end up with one cookie that is more medicated than the next. I do hope this helps both you and Rodney. ;)The recipe works really well @tamaralovelace. It works best with cannabis pulp. If you have purchased oils already made, you'll need about .5 ml per cookie, so 20 ml or about .6 of an ounce of oil.
A great recipe and I'm sure that these cookies are very tasty, especially in them is a little secret :) Thanks @rebeccaryan
Oh boy! @sekagan, they taste really scrumptious...but you can only eat one, otherwise you may have missing time. LOL!
when i tag someone who i follow but you dont does she get the message? I would like to show this to @wanderingkells she is my daughter, and baker by profession also chocolatier and icecream maker .... yeah i know !! :-) lucky me :-) On the moment i do have to miss her, because she is travelling around, now she is in Lubljana ? without checking if i wrote this write :-) it is in Slovanie. 3 months she is gone now, after that we will get cookies again. :-)
This is a good question @janine-ariane! I "think" there's an app that can tell you when someone tags you in a comment. I just don't know what it's called because I never use it. I have followed @wanderingkells now. This will let me be able to follow her on her trip as she makes her way. ;)
Ow they do look tasty and yummy
Nice done !
Thank you very much @rehan12!
Wow this looks amazing, pictures are awesome!I will show this recipe to my mom and i will ask her to make these cookies for me. Thank you!
Oh, I do hope your family tries it sometime @yuvadeep!
Looks delicious Rebecca, now I'm hungry :))) nice job!!!
Thanks so much @alextuteu!
nice recipe and yummy tasty cookies.
It's tricky to make a good gluten-free cookie, that tastes like it has gluten in it. This recipe, if you follow the directions will produce a delicious cookie...even without the cannabis. You can leave the cannabis out and the recipe will work without having to add anything else.
That's pretty cool to know thanks for the tips by the way :)
Thanks @killerkuasha! I hope you try this sometime. ;)
these are some delicious looking cookies.. someday I will try making these myself using your recipe..
Oh good @skreza! I do hope you can make a batch sometime. ;)
haha this time the spelling was correct.. I have only smoked.. never got to eat.. your post makes me very interested in wanting to eat
OK! I must tell you a few things about edibles. First of all, no matter what people say, it doesn't matter how much you smoke. If you've never eaten an edible or it's been a long time, you will be a novice and a little bit will hit you hard. Edibles are a different molecule entirely. Our livers convert delta 9-THC to delta 11-THC.
11 is ten times stronger than 9. It can knock you on your ass for up to 8 hours and take up to 2 full hours to kick in...so if you do have the opportunity to eat an edible, do not eat another piece before the 2 hour mark or you'll consume too much. (Everyone makes this mistake at some point or another).
I've made these particular cookies for sleeping, so they are sedative. If you want to be up an active, you'll want an energizing strain that doesn't list paranoia as a side-effect. :)Yes! I will always be careful with your name @skreza!
i want one they look scrumptious :)
Oh @owenwat, I wish I could just give you one instantly. They are scrumptious. ;)
Wow! The cookies looks so yummy with the cannabis, you make my mouth watering my dear.
Hi @creativewoman! Thanks for stopping by. Reading and commenting. You can make this recipe just fine without the cannabis. The trick to the rise is mixing the baking soda with water and chilling the cookie dough, before it goes into the oven. Taking them out of the oven, just a little "under-done" will let them continue cooking without the risk of burning them before you cool them on a rack. ;)
Wow amazing blend of colours and recipe really awesome and delicious
Thank you @blazing!
It,s a pretty cool to know thanks for the tips by the way.. i must try this.looking yammi....
Thanks for taking a look and commenting. ;)You are most welcome @tonnykhan!

Thanks for your comment @humaidi.
you ate welcome my ftiendm.
nice post, really informative. I've made a how-to guide on how to make rosin dabs at home check it out
https://steemit.com/weed/@weedfeed/how-to-make-rosin-dabs-at-home-rosin-tech
@rebeccaryan - Those look delicious!
I was wondering if you know of any resources that essentially give a breakdown of what amount of cannabis (x) infused in (y) amount of oil would give a percentage of (z)% in final infused oil, based on the percentages of compounds in the dried herb before infusion.
For example: Let's say I have some cannabis testing at 17.5% CBDa (before decarboxylation) and I want to end up with an infusion that has 20 mg of CBD per 1g coconut oil. Any idea how to accomplish this other than repeatedly tinkering with recipes and then submitting to a lab for testing? The lab tests add up quick at $60 per.
I'm also wondering if you have a preferred decarb method: whole buds on oven rack, ground buds/material on oven sheets (both of those pre-infusion), or during oil infusion.
Do you think I should have the decarbed cannabis tested also?
I bought a slow cooker today and am about to give that a whirl.
Looking for any guidance and will be happy to send you a sample product once I have something stable and dialed in! Thanks Rebecca!
Hope I'm not too late on the reply to this. Yes there is a formula and we can get close with home-based procedures but it won't be 100% accurate because of variables like temperature fluctuations and time. I do have a formula that I trust but I won't be able to get it to you until later tonight as I have it recorded in a journal that I don't have with me right now.
I do have a preferred decarb method. Whole bud, in a stainless steel container and pressure cooked.
The cannabiniods have different decarb times. THCa is 240 F for 45 minutes. CBDa is 280 F for 75 minutes.
(Here's the procedure for the decarb.)
What oil are you planning to infuse your bud into or are you going to make a fully extracted cannabis oil using an alcohol wash?Hi @anarchysalis!
Not at all too late, I appreciate hearing from you. I'm into trying a number of different methods right now in our experimental phase.
Interesting about the pressure cooker decarb! I will watch that video tonight.
Right now, I am infusing mainly into coconut oil. I did a butter infusion, but I think I made it too strong and I used water mixed with butter and I don't like the way it turned out. Yes, they separated, but I feel like the water changed the texture of the butter a lot, unless it was actually the hemp that did so.
I just used the slow cooker last night to make a coconut oil infusion. Very pleased. I think tonight I'm going to try to do a decarb IN the oil... The oil heated up to 260 before I turned it down. Are you saying that you don't think that's high enough for decarb? Most all the resources I found online said between 240-260, but now that I think about it, maybe that was for THC levels, hmmm. Interesting that the CBDa is hotter.
Trying to stay away from alcohol washes right now and just go right into food stuffs.
Thanks Rebecca, I look forward to more info and appreciate your wealth of knowledge!
Here's the info:
If you can't enlarge the image, I can send you a message on steemit.chat and I think you can enlarge it there. For the decarb to work efficiently, you ideally need to not break the gland heads off the trichomes. Even temperatures produce a better decarb which is why I went to the pressure cooker method, instead of oven decarbing. THC's range for decarbing stops at 250. If you go higher than this, you'll just activate more CBD and CBN (more sedative) at the expense of THC. You'll lose some of the psychoactivity of the THC in exchange for CBD and CBN.
Certainly experiment. It is interesting and it's how we learn.
In my testing I found big temperature swings in crock pots, propane, gas and electric ovens. When I have used a temperature gun to test for consistency of temperature, I found that there were a few degrees difference from one spot to the next inside the oven. The potency of the finished product is all in the effectiveness of the decarb.Hi @anarchryslis,
I'll try to send this to you in Steemit.chat to see if you can enlarge it there. It doesn't appear like you can here.
