Cannabis-Infused Honey Shortbread Cookies
With Lavender, Lemon, and/or Rosemary
Makes 16 cookies
Shortbread Ingredients:
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/3 cup cane sugar
• 3 tablespoons Sous Weed Honey*
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
Add in options:
• 3 tsp dried lavender, or 1 Tbsp lemon zest, and/or 1 Tbsp chopped rosemary
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 325ºF. Grease an 8”x8” square baking pan.
-
In the large bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, and Sous Weed honey until light and fluffy.
-
Add the flour, salt, and your preferred add-in options and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until combined.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Use your hands to firmly and evenly press the shortbread mixture in. Score the surface of the dough with a sharp knife to outline 16 cookies (4”x1” each). Use a fork to prick the dough all over to allow steam to escape as it bakes.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until lightly golden.**
-
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.
*You can use cannabis-infused butter if you do not have cannabis-infused honey. Substitute in your preferred dosage of cannabis butter along with regular butter and regular honey.
**Note: I use a convection oven which cooks hotter and faster than most conventional ovens. Start keeping an eye on the shortbread at the 20 minute mark and pull them out when they become golden brown. They will continue to cook a little more as they cool.
***The amount of cannabis honey specified in this recipe is a very loose suggestion; the actual amount you use should be modified based on the strength of your honey and the potency you desire. Dosing homemade edibles can be tricky, so the best way to determine the effects on your body is to start with one serving, and wait one to two hours, then make an informed decision on whether to consume more. Always dose carefully and listen to your body, and never drive under the influence of cannabis.
