The holiday season is the perfect time to show your cannabis-loving friends how much you care by whipping up some delicious, weed-infused treats!
Make your holiday unforgettable by baking these delightful cannabis-based Christmas cookies. And no, we’re not talking about another sourdough bread baking sesh!
What could make Christmas cookies even better? Infusing them with your favorite holiday flavors, of course! These festive treats are perfect for sharing with friends, family, or if you want to be a Grinch and keep them all to yourself – we won’t judge.
Let the cannabis baking begin!
NOTE:
Before beginning, ensure you have cannabis-infused butter or a cannabis tincture on hand (we recommend Redecan CBD Reign Drops). If desiring psychoactive effects, THC-dominant cannabis is your best option. Otherwise, CBD will suffice!
A warning about edibles
People who are inexperienced with edibles may have a more difficult time than those who are familiar, when it comes to deciding how much of the recipe to consume.
Since edibles can take up to two hours before you feel their effects, it’s easy to accidentally consume too much. That combined with the long-lasting nature of edibles makes them different than smoking marijuana. If you’re baking at home, be aware that it can be difficult to know how potent your food is since THC content varies. Go slowly and stop when you reach your limit.
Avoid giving into the “I don’t feel anything, just one more” mindset. It’s not worth it when everything hits you at once. If you’re sharing cookies with someone, make sure they know what they’re getting into!

Ingredients
- 1/4 ounce Cannabis – decarbed (220 F for 20 minutes)
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour Note: MUST use almond flour, no subs.
- 1 3/4 cups Powdered sugar

- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Green food colouring

- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp Milk
Instructions

- Add your butter and decarbed weed together in a small dish/bowl
- Next, strain your decarbed weed & butter with a cheesecloth ( don’t squeeze) over a seal tight glass container or mason jar. A smaller size will suffice.
- Refridgerate while you prepare the rest below.
PREPARING THE BATTER
- Sift your almond flour and powdered sugar using a very small-holed strainer into a large bowl – note: sifting is key! You need to get the finest form of flour you can, and the only way is sifting. Stir with a whisk and let it stand whlie you prepare another bowl with more ingredients.
- Separate your 4 eggs , and use only the egg whites. Place them in a separate bowl.
- Add in your 1/2 cup sugar and blend with a hand mixer, you should have stiff peaks with your mixture – then you know it’s ready to add the dry ingredients.
- Slowly add in your dry ingredients while mixing on low. Do NOT overmix!
- Add in a tsp of green food colouring, gently fold it in. No overmixing!
PIPING
- Fill your piping bag with your mixture
- Create small circular ‘dollops’ on your parchment lined cookie sheet( basically: one small squeeze about the size of a Canadian dollar/ loonie). Make sure they are far enough apart, as they settle they’ll expand and you don’t want them to touch.
- Let them rest for one hour on the counter, uncovered.
- Then bake them in the oven for 220F for 40 minutes
FILLING
- While your macaroon shells are baking, you can prepare the delicious Cannabis filling!
- Add 1/2 cup Cannabis butter to a bowl, and slowly pour in 2 cups of powdered sugar in small batches until all mixed up. Then add 2 tbsp milk. Blend with a hand mixer until smooth.
- Put your filling into piping bags.
ASSEMBLY
- When your macaroons are ready, let them cool for 10 minutes or so.
- When fully cooled, you can pipe the filling inside and make your little macaroon sandwiches!
