A Foolproof Cannabis Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe That Guarantees Perfection Every Time

Few things are as deliciously heartwarming as munching down on a batch of freshly baked cookies that are loaded with bits of sweet chocolate. Unless of course, they have a secret ingredient. An ingredient that is sure to lift your spirits, even if the smell of warm chocolaty cookies did not already put a smile on your face. A freshly baked chocolate chip cookie is simply my favourite way to eat my greens!

BUDDING BAKER

A few weeks ago our apartment building hosted a block party to celebrate newlyweds, bid farewell to old friends and meet the neighbourhood newcomers. As part of the arrangements, each apartment was tasked with preparing a snack and a beverage that would best represent each of their personalities. I decided that dagga koekies (which translates to cannabis cookies from Afrikaans) and don pedros would best portray my pot persona. So I got baked, assembled the ingredients and made a batch of these foolproof cannabis-infused chocolate chip cookies.

PERFECTION

A freshly baked homemade chocolate chip cookie should be warm, tender yet crunchy and instantly put a smile on your face. The perfect pot cookie should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, have a gooey chocolate chip filled centre and have the faintest taste of cannabis-infused coconut oil.

DOSAGE

The amount of cannabis-infused coconut oil used in this recipe is a suggested guide to make 20 medicated cookies. We recommend starting with one biscuit, half if you are new or nervous, and top up with another after waiting at least an hour. The golden rule of edibles is to start low and go slow. If indeed you are planning a more potent batch next time, you can substitute more butter with the amount of cannabis-infused coconut oil you wish to add.

If the onslaught of the global pandemic did not drive you to baking banana bread and sourdough loaves, perhaps the guarantee of deliciously dank space cookies would finally get you baking. This recipe for cannabis chocolate chip cookies is easy to follow, quick to make and bake and delicious every time!

TOKER’S TIP

Turn your marijuana morsels into a mind-blowing treat. Half the size of the cookie dough before baking and wedge a scoop of your favourite ice cream between two biscuits to turn your cookies into an ice-cream sandwich. Perhaps, you too would feel the need to drizzle this dessert with stoner chocolate sauce. Delightful dagga decadence!
