– 1 cup white sugar
– 1 cup packed brown sugar

Baking With a Buzz: Step-By-Step
- Beat that butter, cannabutter and sugars until they’re fluffier than a poodle at a dog show – think about four minutes to get it just right.
- Get the eggs and vanilla in the mix and beat it like it owes you money.
- Dissolve the baking soda in hot water and blend it into your buttery-sugary-eggy concoction.
- Ease in the flour bit by bit, incorporate slowly.
- Sprinkle in your chocolate chips, and if you’re rolling with the nuts, raisins or your favorite candy pieces, toss ’em in.
- Scoop out that dough onto your prepared baking sheet. No need to get perfect – aim for walnut-sized balls.
- Pop it in the oven at 350 degrees F and give it about 10 minutes. You’re looking for golden edges and a set middle that’s still got some groove to it.
- Flip those treats on a wire rack, don’t let ’em keep sizzling on that baking tray, or they’ll overcook.
Tips for the Tastiest Trip
– Chill your dough before baking to keep those cookies thicc and gooey in the middle.
– Let the baked cookies rest a minute on the sheet – they need their beauty rest too.
– Store them in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them softer than a Drake verse.
– You know the deal with edibles, start with 1 ‘cuz the effects can take up to 2 hours to kick in.
The Freeze Game
If you’re playing the long game, freeze the dough balls on a sheet tray and transfer to a gallon storage bag. Just like you’d stash your greens – wrap it up tight! These canna-cookies will keep frozen for up to two months. Pull ‘em out and bake ‘em when you’re feeling trippy.
These chocolate chip cookies, now with a cannabis kick, are the real deal. They’re crunchy, they’re chewy, they’re everything you want and then some. So put on your aprons, and let’s get baked!
