There’s something deeply nostalgic about peanut butter cookies: the smell, the crunch, and that creamy texture. Now, imagine that same comfort with a gentle cannabis twist. This recipe combines two all-time favorites: peanut butter and cannabis, resulting in a batch of chewy, flavorful cookies that are both relaxing and irresistible.
These cookies are made using cannabutter, which adds THC or CBD to your treats depending on the strain you use. If you don’t already have some, make sure to check out our guide on how to make cannabis butter first; it’s the foundation of most good edibles.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make around a dozen peanut butter weed cookies, gather the following:
- 120g cannabis butter (cannabutter)
- 115g peanut butter (chunky works best)
- 40g flour
- 60g white sugar
- 65g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp vanilla powder
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
- In a large bowl, mix the cannabutter and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the sugars, followed by the egg and vanilla powder, stirring until well combined.
- Sift in the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix until you have a thick, sticky dough.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Using two spoons, form small dough balls and space them evenly on the tray.
- Bake for 7–10 minutes, or until golden at the edges.
- Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before serving; they’ll be soft at first but firm up nicely.
A Few Personal Tips
- Keep some cold milk nearby; these cookies are rich and pair perfectly with it.
- Don’t overbake! They might look soft when you take them out, but they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Start slow if you’re new to edibles. The effects take longer to kick in than smoking or vaping.
Once cooled, your peanut butter weed cookies are ready to enjoy. Whether you’re sharing them with friends or saving them for a quiet night, they’re a sweet and mellow way to relax.
