Jam-filled cannabis-infused Valentine's Day Cookies
1cupjamstrawberry,raspberry, mixed berry or any other jam will do!
1/4cuppowdered sugarfor dusting
Instructions
Mix together flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in your mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer beat together all butter and sugar until fluffy.
Then, beat in the eggs slowly. Once combined, add in vanilla.
Lower the mixing speed and slowly add in the dry ingredients.
Divide dough in 2 equal pieces, and wrap each piece in plastic wrap/saran wrap, patting into a 1-inch-thick disk. Chill at least 2 hours before rolling.
Pre-heat your oven to 325 F, and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
Working with 1 disk at a time, roll out the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap until it's about 1/8 inch thick.
Once your dough is all rolled out, cut your shapes into them. Next, transfer dough cookies to the parchment-lined baking sheets spaced about 1 inch apart.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Cool completely before filling.
To assemble, spread your fav jam on one cookie, and place the other on top. You can also spread jam on both sides if you've got an extra big sweet tooth!
Melt your 1/2 cup pure chocolate and pour it into your heart shaped molds. Flip your mold upside down so there is just a thin layer of chocolate into the molds.

Refrigerate for 5 min
Beat air in your creamy chocolate with a hand blender till nice and thick.
Fill your chocolate bonbons in the mold and cover with another layer of chocolate, cool for at least an hour or till hardened. Take them out of the mold and place in your gift box.

This recipe calls for cannabutter, which you might already have made – or if you read our articles, you’ve got some at the ready in your freezer in ice cube trays.
Great for Valentine's Day! These cute and romanitc little apple-roses are brushed with cannabutter, and loaded with sweetness.
1-2tbspall-purpose flour to sprinkle on your countertop
3-5tbspground cinnamon
3-5tbspcannabuttermelted and used to brush overtop
2tbspsugarto sprinkle on top
Instructions
Thaw the puff pastry at room temperature.
Grab your mixing bowl half filled with water and the lemon juice.Cut the apples in paper-thin slices. Leave the peel so it will give the red color to your roses. Place the sliced apples in the bowl so that they won't change color.
Microwave the apples in the bowl for about 3-minutes. If they break, you'll need to soften them a little more until they don't. Just don't overcook them, they'll dry out. Set aside.
Unwrap the puff pastry over a clean and lightly floured counter. Using a rolling pin stretch the dough into a rectangular shape of about 12 x 9 inches.Then, using a pizza roller, cut the dough in 6 strips, each about 2 x 9 inches.
Preheat the oven to 375 F and then drain the apples.
Melt your cannabutter and cinnamon in the microwave (or on the stove) for a few minutes tops. Set aside.
Arrange the apple slices on the dough, overlapping one another so that they are all in a row, and look almost like a fan. Make sure the top (skin side) of the slices sticks a little out of the strip. Using your pastry brush, brush the apple parts that are inside the dough, not the tips.
Fold up the bottom of the dough, like you are tucking them into bed.
Starting from the left end of the dough, gently tuck in the apples while you roll to the right. Make sure all apples are in place, and don't move.
Seal the edges with your fingers so everything is tucked in nicely. No gaps in the dough.
Do the same as above for the remaining five roses. Note: you may need more cannabutter & cinnamon mix. Repeat in microwave as above.
Spray each muffin tin with cooking spray/non stick spray. If it's a silicone muffin tray, you don't need to, but it wouldn't hurt just in case.
Then, sprinkle any cinnamon or sugar you have on top of each rose.
Bake at 375 F for about 40-45 minutes. Make sure the pastry is cooked all the way through!Eat while warm and enjoy!
