🌿Cannabis Base

This recipe uses the cannabis-infused ingredient below. Tap for our step-by-step preparation guide.

🌾 Dry Ingredients

  • 150g plain flour
  • 100g rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Preheat your oven to 180°C and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Cream the softened cannabutter and regular butter with brown sugar and honey in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes with electric beaters).

Pro tip: Room temperature butter is crucial for proper creaming — take it out 2 hours before baking.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined. Don’t overmix.

Shape rounded tablespoons of dough into balls and place on prepared trays, leaving 5cm between each cookie. Use a Digital Kitchen Scale (0.01g) to ensure even 20g portions for consistent dosing.

Pro tip: Slightly flatten each cookie with your fingers — they won’t spread much during baking.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the centre. They’ll continue cooking on the hot tray.

Cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container with clear dosage labels.

Pro tip: These cookies taste even better the next day as the oats soften and flavours meld.

Half-Strength Option

Replace 25g cannabutter with regular butter to create 6mg cookies — perfect for beginners or daytime dosing.

Oat Selection Matters

Use traditional rolled oats, not quick oats, for the best texture. Steel-cut oats are too hard and won’t work in this recipe.

Honey Quality

Pure Australian honey adds depth — avoid processed honey blends that can taste artificial when baked.

Even Dosing

Weigh each cookie portion (around 20g) for consistent THC content. This is crucial for safe, predictable effects.

Storage Success

These cookies stay fresh for up to a week in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Always Label

Mark containers with “CANNABIS – 12mg THC per cookie” and the date made. Keep away from children and pets.

Method Duration Notes
Room temperature 7 days Airtight container
Refrigerated 14 days Best for freshness
Frozen 3 months Wrap individually

Can I use half cannabutter and half regular butter?

Absolutely! Using 25g cannabutter and 75g regular butter creates cookies with about 6mg THC each — perfect for beginners or those who prefer lower doses. The texture and taste remain identical.

How long do these cookies take to kick in?

Cannabis edibles typically take 30-120 minutes to take effect, with peak effects around 2-3 hours. Start with half a cookie and wait at least 90 minutes before considering more. The oats and honey may slow absorption slightly compared to other baked goods.

Do I need to decarboxylate my cannabis first?

If you’re making cannabutter from scratch, yes — decarboxylation is essential to activate the THC. Heat your ground cannabis at 110°C for 30-40 minutes before infusing into butter. If you’re buying ready-made cannabutter, this step is already done.

How should I store these cookies?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for two weeks. For longer storage, wrap individual cookies and freeze for up to 3 months. Always label with dosage information and keep secure from others.

What if I accidentally eat too much?

Stay calm and find a safe, comfortable place to wait it out. Drink water, try some black peppercorns (they can help reduce THC anxiety), and remember that while uncomfortable, a cannabis overdose isn’t dangerous. Effects will pass within 4-8 hours.

Can I substitute coconut oil for the cannabutter?

Yes, you can use cannabis-infused coconut oil instead of cannabutter. Use 45ml of cannabis coconut oil and increase the regular butter to 80g to maintain the right fat ratio. The cookies will have a subtle coconut flavour and slightly different texture.
