  • Measuring cups
  • Whisk
  • Stand Mixer or hand mixer
  • Cookie sheets
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

The Dough

  • 1/2 cup unsalted cannabutter or regular butter at room temp
  • 1/4 cup cannabis sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Fig Filling

  • 1 cup dried figs, stems removed finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried and pitted dates finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice freshly squeezed if possible2
  • 1/3 cup candied orange peel diced up finely
  • 2 tbsp cannabis sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup blanced almonds
  • 2 tbsp Grand Marnier optional

ICING

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 cup sprinkles if desired!

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl beat the cannabutter (or regular butter) on medium-high speed using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and mix until combined. Add the egg and vanilla and blend just until incorporated. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat again for a few seconds. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the dough in three additions, mixing on low to incorporate.
  • Divide the dough in half and form each into a small rectangle. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the figs, dates, orange juice, candied orange peel, sugar, lemon zest and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes or until fruit is soft and the mixture is thick. Remove from the heat and add the chopped blanched almonds and 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, if using. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap once cooled until needed.
  • To assemble and bake the cookies, preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before rolling out.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper on a clean work surface. Generously dust the paper with flour. Roll one portion of the dough into a 10×8-inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle into two 10×4-inch strips. Portion 1/4 of the filling down the center of each strip (in a rounded mound). CHILL the dough and filling as is for 10-15 minutes before rolling into cylinders.
  • Using the parchment paper as a guide, bring one long side of the dough up and over the filling. Repeat with the opposite side forming a tube and enclosing the filling. The dough should overlap slightly on top of the filling. Gently seal the edges.
  • Carefully transfer the filled strips to the prepared baking sheet placing them seam side down on the pan. Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove and transfer to a cooling rack.

For The Lemon Icing or Glaze

  • Combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle on each cookie then top with colored sprinkles if desired.

Author: Steph Van De Ven
Cost: 40-50 +

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces unsalted butter softened
  • 3 tbsp cannabutter softened
  • 1 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 eggs beat them lightly
  • 1 cup dark molasses
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 4 tsp ground cloves
  • 3 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt

ICING

  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar powder

Instructions

Gingerbread

  • In a mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar, and continue mixing until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, molasses and vanilla and mix some more.
  • In a large bowl combine the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar. Put the dough in the fridge, covered.
  • In the meatine, heat oven to 340°F. Cover two baking sheets with parchment and paper so you're ready!
  • Sprinkle flour on your counter, grab the dough, and divide it in half and roll the pieces out to ¼ inch thickness. Cut out evenly-shaped / measured squares and rectangles from the dough- enough to make your house and roof, and transfer to the prepared sheets. Have extra dough? Make a few extra squares and rectangles as back up.
  • Bake for about 15-18 minutes. The dough should not give when pressed lightly. Allow to cool fully.

ICING

  • In a large mixer, whip the powdered sugar with the egg whites and cream of tartar. The process should take about seven minutes. The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape.
  • Using your icing, glue the walls ( your gingerbread squares) of the house together first. After attaching, allow it to set for at least 20 minutes. Propping the sides is helpful. Continue on with the roof and allow it to set completely. When it's fully 'glued' you can start decorating!
