It’s the season of cookies, and today we’re going to show you How To Host A Cannabis Cookie Decorating Party.
With so many yummy weed edible cookie possibilities, why not create a new tradition that can be remembered for years to come, or at least the evening?
Check out our best edible cookie recipes and our how-to guide below.
Prep The Homemade Cookies & Icing
Baked & Cooled Cookies: Start the day with already baked and cooled cookies like sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies and anything else fun and easy to decorate. You don’t want to have any fresh-from-the-oven recipes because the best cookies to decorate are the ones that have 100% cooled down – otherwise, the icing will melt and your design will look nuts!
Portion Cookies: I suggest portioning about 6-8 cookies per person to decorate. That way there’s enough to do, enough to sample, and enough just in case one or two breaks (which may happen, so always always always have extras)
Icing: Make sure you have enough icing ready and prepared – and doubles or maybe even triples depending on how many people are attending.
Food Colouring: Tinting the icing is super fun, and you might want to consider having many colours.
For Decorating
Sprinkles, finely chopped candies and nuts: grab some fun, festive and colourful sprinkles!
Piping Bags & Tips: Grab a batch of disposable piping bags and tips and give everyone a few.
Toothpicks: great for creating intricate designs in icing!
Treat Boxes: find some great little treat boxes that everyone can put their freshly decorated cookies in afterward.
Now on to the recipes!
Weed-Infused Sugar Cookies
We love cannabis infused anything. But weed infused cookies are one of the most popular types of weed edibles for a reason. They are delicious, discreet, fun to make and they almost always impress your friends.If you want these weed infused sugar cookies to have a bit more of a finishing touch, you could also decorate the cookies with icing. If you are out of cannabis butter, you could also use cannabis sugar for this recipe.
In a food processor, combine sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pulse just to combine.
Add both butters and pulse until all of the butter is incorporated into the flour and the mixture is sandy. Add the egg and vanilla and pulse until the mixture comes together in big clumps.
Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead a few times to form a ball.
Divide the dough in half, pat into 2 discs about 1/4-inch thick, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Put 1 disc of dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper and roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thick.
Cut out with thanksgiving cookie cutters and arrange on one of the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Once cool enough to handle, transfer cookies to a rack to cool completely.
Add both butters to the bowl of your stand mixer and cream on medium-high for 1-2 minutes, or until butter is smooth.
With the mixer on low, slowly add the sugar and then the egg.
Scrape the bowl with the mixer off.
Turn mixer back on low and add in extracts.
Allow all ingredients to combine fully.
Add the baking powder and then the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until fully incorporated. Ending with the cocoa powder.
Remove bowl from mixer and drop dough onto a floured countertop. Roll out into a flat disc, about 1/2 inch thick.
Cut cookies into 2-inch, 1 1/2-inch, and 1-inch cookies and bake at 350 for 6-9 minutes.
Let cool on the cookie sheet until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack.BUTTERCREAM
Beat butter together with cannabis sugar in the bowl of stand mixer with paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. (about 3 minutes)
With the mixer off or on low, add vanilla and almond extract.
With the mixer on low, slowly add in confectioners sugar, cannabis sugar, milk, green food color, and salt; frequently scrape sides and bottom of the bowl.
Once incorporated, whip frosting for at least 3 minutes on medium-high to high.
If frosting is too thick to spread, gradually beat in additional milk.
Store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.
