Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    Beat cannabutter, regular butter, peanut butter, and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. 3
    Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Mix in vanilla extract.
  4. 4
    Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together. Fold into the butter mixture until just combined.
  5. 5
    Roll dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Press a fork into each ball twice in a crosshatch pattern to flatten to 1/2-inch thickness.
  6. 6
    Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden. Centers will look underdone — that is correct. Cool on pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  7. 7
    Store in an airtight container, clearly labelled as infused.

Pro Tips

  • Start with one cookie. Wait 90 minutes before another — 24 cookies means a lower dose per piece but easy to overeat.
  • Chill the dough 30 minutes for a thicker, chewier cookie.
  • Do not overbake — peanut butter cookies firm up significantly as they cool.
