Preheat your oven to 180°C and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Cream the softened cannabutter, regular butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes with an electric mixer).
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined. Don’t overmix.
Portion the dough using a Digital Kitchen Scale (0.01g) to ensure even dosing — each cookie should be about 25g of dough.
Shape dough into balls and place on prepared trays, leaving 5cm between cookies. Use a fork to create the classic criss-cross pattern, pressing gently to flatten slightly.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centres still look slightly underbaked. They’ll continue cooking on the hot tray.
Cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before storing.
Perfect Texture
Don’t overbake — cookies should look slightly underdone when you remove them. They’ll firm up as they cool for that perfect chewy texture.
Even Dosing
Weigh your dough portions to ensure consistent dosing. Each 25g ball will give you the calculated mg per cookie.
Half-Strength Option
Replace half the cannabutter with regular butter (25g each) to create 5.9mg cookies perfect for beginners or daytime use.
Storage Success
Store in an airtight container with parchment between layers to prevent sticking. They’ll stay fresh for up to a week.
Peanut Butter Choice
Use smooth peanut butter for consistent texture, but crunchy works too if you like extra texture in your cookies.
Always Label
Label your storage container with contents, date made, and dosage per cookie. Keep away from unsuspecting snackers!
| Method | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Room temperature | 5-7 days | Airtight container |
| Refrigerated | 2 weeks | Best for maintaining freshness |
| Frozen | 3 months | Wrap individually in plastic wrap |

Absolutely! Replace 25g of the cannabutter with regular butter to create half-strength cookies (5.9mg each). This is perfect for beginners or when you want to enjoy more cookies with less intense effects.
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 peanut butter and fats can slow absorption slightly.
Yes, decarboxylation is essential for psychoactive effects. If you’re making your own cannabutter, you must decarb your flower first. Our cannabutter guide covers the full process, or use a device like the Ardent FX for precision.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for two weeks. For longer storage, wrap individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Always label with dosage and keep secure.
If you’ve consumed too much, stay calm and hydrated. Find a quiet, comfortable space and wait it out — the effects will pass. Contact the Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26) if you’re concerned, or seek medical attention for severe symptoms.
Yes, you can substitute the 50g cannabutter with 40g cannabis coconut oil (coconut oil is more potent by volume). You may need to chill the dough slightly if it becomes too soft to handle properly.
