What Are Biscuits aux mauvaises herbes?

Weed cookies, also known as cannabis cookies or marijuana cookies, are a type of edible cannabis product made by infusing THC (or CBD) into the ingredients of a traditional cookie recipe, typically through cannabutter or cannabis-infused oil.

Before You Bake: Mixing Butter with Weed

There’s one essential ingredient you need to get right: cannabutter. This is the foundation of most cannabis recipes, and especially important when baking with weed.

What is Cannabutter?

Cannabutter is made by infusing decarbed weed (that’s heating cannabis to activate its THC) into unsalted butter over a medium-low heat source. This process allows the plant matter to release cannabinoids, which bind to the fat, making your homemade cannabis edibles both potent and delicious.

Comment faire du beurre de cannabis

Ingrédients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 tasse d'eau
• 7–10 grams of fleur de cannabis (adjust based on desired potency)

Instructions

• Decarb your weed: Bake your flower at around 240°F (115°C) for 30–40 minutes in the middle of the oven to activate THC.
• Combine ingredients: In a heatproof bowl over a pot of hot water (a makeshift double boiler), mix 1 cup of butter with 1 cup of water and your decarbed cannabis.
• Simmer gently: Keep on medium heat for 2–3 hours, stirring every couple of times to prevent burning.
• Strain and store: Use cheesecloth to remove plant material, then pour your batch of cannabutter into a butter bowl or an airtight container. Let it cool before using in any edible recipes.

Now that you have your batch of cannabutter ready, it’s time to bake the ultimate tasty treat!

How to Bake Biscuits aux mauvaises herbes: Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prep Your Baking Sheet

Begin by preheating your oven to a temperature range of 350°F to 375°F (180°C to 190°C). Be sure to use an oven thermometer if you’re unsure about your oven’s accuracy. Line a cookie sheet or baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal. This not only saves cleanup time, but also maintains the structure of your treats.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine your dry ingredients:

• 1¼ cups all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon kosher salt or flaky sea salt

These basic elements create the structure of your dessert, helping to support the infused fat and give your cookies that classic chocolate chip cookie recipe texture.

Step 3: Cream the Cannabis Butter and Sugars

In another mixing bowl, beat together:

• ½ cup cannabis butter

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ½ cup granulated sugar

This is a crucial part of the infusion process. The fat content in butter carries the cannabinoids and enhances the taste. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the mixture until it’s creamy and airy. This affects both the final texture and effects of edibles.

Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients

Add in your wet ingredients:

• 1 egg (at room temperature)

• 1 cuillère à café d'extrait de vanille

Beat until the liquid ingredient is fully incorporated. Proper blending at this stage helps disperse the cannabis flavor and ensures each cookie delivers balanced effects.

Step 5: Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures

Gradually fold your dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Avoid overmixing, as this can toughen your homemade edibles and diminish that soft, chewy texture we all love. Use a spatula or spoon for gentle mixing, you want to evenly distribute the plant material-infused fat throughout the batch without overworking the dough.

Step 6: Add Your Mix-ins (Optional)

If you’re interested in customizing your cannabis cookies, now it’s the right time. Stir in:

• 1 cup of chocolate chips
• Chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)
• M&Ms or other candy pieces
• Dried fruit (like cranberries or cherries)
• Crushed pretzels for a salty crunch

Don’t be afraid to get creative with your mix-ins! These simple additions can take your weed cookies from good to unforgettable.

Step 7: Shape the Cookies

Scoop out dough using a spoon or cookie scoop to form uniform balls. Place them on your parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading. For better dose control, ensure each scoop is the same size. This helps manage THC content and ensures consistent effects across the entire batch.

Step 8: Bake and Cool

Bake the cookies for 9–12 minutes (the average baking time) or until the edges are golden brown. The heat during this step is key to finalizing the infusion process and creating that ideal cannabis edible texture.

Once out of the oven, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This cooling time allows them to set properly while preserving the cannabis compounds responsible for the effects.

Heads Up: Your Kitchen Will Smell Like Weed!

If you’re planning to make cannabis-infused butter or bake a batch of marijuana cookies, be prepared: your house will reek of weed. From the decarb process to simmering cannabis in butter, the cooking process releases a strong, unmistakable herbal taste into the air that can linger for hours.

How to Reduce the Smell While Cooking with Cannabis

Here are a few simple steps to help contain the odor and make your cannabutter project a little more discreet:

• Ventilate the space: Crack open windows and doors, run a fan, and use your oven hood during the baking process.
• Simmer odor-neutralizers: Boil cups of water with lemon peels, cloves, or vinegar alongside your cannabis-infused butter to help mask the flavors of butter and weed.
• Clean as you go: Wipe down surfaces to remove liquid butter splatter and residual smell. Remember, melted sticks of butter infused with cannabis can leave strong odors on counters and cookware.
• Use odor-absorbing candles or incense: Citrus or fruit-based dessert-scented candles pair surprisingly well with the earthy flavors of cannabis, offering complementary flavors to mask the scent.
• Contain the area: Close doors to bedrooms and keep your cannabis work limited to the kitchen or one part of the home. The smell of a delicious weed cookie might be enjoyable to you, but not necessarily to your neighbors.
