The Recipe
Made with real vanilla bean and cannabutter for a creamy, thick, delicious weed edible cookie just in time for St.Patrick's Day!
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cannabutter and sugar together on high speed for 1 minute. Add the vanilla bean seeds and beat again until combined and butter is creamy, about 1-2 more minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat on low speed until combined. Dough will be a little soft.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Place each portion on a piece of lightly floured parchment paper.With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Lightly dust one of the rolled-out doughs with flour. Place a piece of parchment on top. (This prevents sticking.) Place the 2nd rolled-out dough on top. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and then refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours.
Once chilled, preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Carefully remove the top dough piece from the refrigerator. Using a cookie cutter, cut the dough into shapes. Re-roll the remaining dough and continue cutting until all is used.
Arrange cookies on baking sheets 3 inches apart. Bake for 11-12 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
FROSTING
With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cannabis butter and vanilla bean seeds together on medium speed until butter is creamy, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners’ sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds and then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 2 full minutes. Taste. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet. Stir in 1-2 tiny drops of gel food coloring – optional – and mix well.
You can decorate the cookies with a knife, icing spatula, or use a piping bag and piping tip. Top with sprinkles, if desired. Enjoy!
