Cannabutter Chocolate Chip Cookies (The Classic Edible)

The chocolate chip cookie is the edible that started it all. Made with cannabutter, it is forgiving, freezer-friendly, and easy to portion so each cookie lands at a predictable dose.

Key takeaways

  • Makes 24 cookies at about 10 mg THC each (depends on your butter).
  • ~25 minutes plus baking.
  • Swap part of the cannabutter for regular butter to lower the dose.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cannabutter, softened
  • 1/2 cup regular butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar + 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs and 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cream the cannabutter, regular butter, and sugars until fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  3. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt; mix into the wet ingredients, then fold in the chips.
  4. Scoop 24 even balls onto lined trays and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes. Even portioning is what keeps the dose consistent.

Dosing & safety

Dose depends entirely on your cannabutter’s potency — divide the total milligrams by 24 to estimate per-cookie strength. Start with one, wait 60–90 minutes before eating more, and store in a labeled container away from kids and pets. For adults 21+ where legal.
