Equipment

  • Cookie Sheets - 2-3
  • Parchment Paper
  • Piping bags and tips or a plastic bag and scissors
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Stand Mixer or hand mixer
  • Spatula
  • Whisk
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • Shamrock cookie cutters - about 3-inch in size

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup cannabutter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar or cannabis sugar
  • 1 whole vanilla bean scrape the seeds from it
  • 1 large egg room temp
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Vanilla Bean Buttercream

  • 3/4 cup cannabutter softened
  • 1/2 seeds from the vanilla bean
  • 3 cups confectioners sugar
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
  • 1-2 drops green food colouring or gel optional
  • 1 sprinkle of sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • 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!
