Hi y’all & Happy Valentine's Day! One of my favorite ways to show the people in my life love is by making delicious infused recipes for them to enjoy. Cannabis-infused heart-shaped desserts are the perfect way to show love any time of the year.
To make these recipes, all you need are common kitchen tools and silicone heart molds. I picked mine up from my local Dollar Tree but you can find them at Walmart, Amazon, or at Micheal’s too. My molds have 6 hearts, but yours may have more depending on where you get it from.
Heart Shaped, Cannabis-Infused Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are a Valentine’s Day classic, and these use cannabutter for a deliciously stoner twist.
Serves: 6 cookies
Ingredients
1/4 cup (60 grams) cannabis butter softened
1/4 cup (50 grams) light brown sugar packed
2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
1 large egg at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tbsp vanilla pudding powder
1/2 cup (90 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 2 to 3 minutes or until well combined.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the flour, baking soda, vanilla pudding powder, and salt and mix until just combined. Then, mix in the semi-sweet chocolate chips on low speed until fully mixed.
Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes.
Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop 2 scoops of cookie dough into each heart silicone mold tray. Press down to flatten dough.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown and the tops are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove cookies from heart mold & transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.
