Part 1: Cannabutter Recipe

Yield: 230 g

INGREDIENTS

• 14 g Pure Sunfarms bud (your strain of choice)
• 300 g unsalted butter
• 400 mL water 

METHOD

• Preheat oven to 275°F.
• Chop the bud into small pea-sized pieces and spread evenly into 8” ceramic or glass baking pan.
• Bake undisturbed for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
• Combine the decarbed bud, unsalted butter, and water in a small/medium-size saucepan.
• Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted, stirring once or twice, do not let mixture boil. Once butter is melted, turn down heat to the lowest possible setting*.
• Cook at a very low simmer**, maintaining 200°F for 4 hours. Check the temperature periodically with an instant-read thermometer (stir briefly before taking temperature). Remove from heat and let mixture cool 15 minutes.
• Pour mixture slowly through a fine wire mesh sieve or several layers of cheesecloth into a tall container. Press solids to remove all liquid.
• Chill 3-4 hours or overnight. Mixture will separate into Cannabutter on top and cooking liquid below. Remove block of solidified Cannabutter, place in a medium-sized mixing bowl, discard the liquid.
• Place in a warm spot until Cannabutter is very soft. Using an electric beater, whip the butter for 2 minutes to disperse the THC evenly. 
• Pack into a secure, labeled, airtight container. 
• Keeps frozen up to six months.

*Google “heat diffuser” ideas for your cooktop if you are having trouble maintaining 200°F.

**Lazy bubbles will be just breaking the surface of the cooking liquid.

Part 2: Canna Cocoa Cookie Recipe

Yield: 50 cannabis cookies (~2 mg THC per cookie*)

INGREDIENTS

• 200 g / 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 20 g / 1 tbsp + 1 tsp Cannabutter
• 135 g / ~2/3 cup white sugar 
• 30 g / 1 oz dark chocolate, melted and cooled
• 1 large egg + 1 yolk (reserve egg white for glaze)
• 10 g / 2 tsp vanilla
• 340 g / 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 70 g / 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2.5 g / ½ tsp baking powder
• 2.5 g / ½ tsp salt
• Topping: 10 g / 2 tsp flaky Maldon or sea salt**

METHOD

• Using a stand mixer or electric beaters, cream the sugar, butter, and Cannabutter together until light and fluffy for 2-3 minutes.
• Beat in the cooled chocolate, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until everything is well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture in thirds, on low, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times until all is well combined. 
• Divide dough in half, pat each half into a flat disc about 2 cm thick, wrap well and chill at least one hour before rolling out.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Roll out one disc at a time on a lightly floured surface to a 28cm circle. Cut out as many cookies as possible, placing them 2 cm apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly flour a cookie-cutter if you want to use one to help prevent sticking.
• Re-roll the scraps and continue cutting cookies .
• Whisk the reserved egg white with a teaspoon of water until foamy, lightly brush egg white evenly onto the tops of each cookie, sprinkle with a few flakes of salt.
• Bake one sheet at a time, on the middle rack of the oven for 12 minutes, remove and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring cookies to a wire rack until completely cool.
• Store canna cookies securely in a labeled airtight container, one week at room temperature and up to a month in the freezer.

* Without the testing information, this is just a guesstimate.

**Variation: top with crushed candy cane or sprinkles.
