Hello Carrie!
These cookies are absolutely delicious!!!! I have friends lining up for them. I was taken back to my childhood with the smell, taste and texture of these cookies (minus the cannabutter smell of course ;)
I ended up using Chef Uni's recipe for the cannabutter - leaving the finely ground up cannabis in the butter - added roughage dontcha know - and with the texture of these cookies the two just blended together so well. I highly recommended these to everyone - they store really well too - still nice and chewy after being container stored for two weeks. The ginger is wonderful for upset stomachs and just an overall delicious cookie! Thanks again for sharing!
Luv ya! xoxo

several weeks ago I made a batch of cannabutter and made cookies but I almost gagged on them. They were extremely medicinal so I ate them all, but each time I was a bit nervous if I could get it all down in me without it coming back up. Had to use a lot of water to wash down each bite and dreaded taking the next bite. I needed a new cookie recipe.

thanks for this recipe Carrie. I didn't have any honey oil but had some cannabutter in the freezer that I needed to use up, it was the other half from the cookies I had made previously .the molasses and brown sugar make the cookie substantial with a mellow sweetness unlike cane sugar. the fresh ginger lends to a spicy heat with tiny chewy ginger bits, and the remaining spices do a good job of concealing any offensive cannabutter taste. the yield is generous and makes a good supply of medicine. now my lungs can take a rest from smoking, because the cookie will give you the same thing only longer and stronger.

The first batch I made a few weeks ago I did very strong for a particular experiment.
And That experiment is now finished and I hope to make it the basis of a future TY article in relation to chronic pain and narcotics.

Once again, thanks for this Carrie.

So happy to hear this recipe works for you, I too make them with no honey oil sometimes. I just use all canna-butter no regular. Try the honey gingerbread too, it's pretty much the same but more honey then molasses:p

Hi there, I was thinking about butter shortbread cookies. We know that this type of cookie uses
a lot of butter, so what better way to use up that cup of cannabutter in the freezer.
I had seen a simple basic recipe somewhere but do not have it now. so I was hoping that you, Carrie
or someone who see's this might have a good butter cookie recipe, timely too, with the up
coming festive season. the recipe I saw I think had like 1 Cup of butter, , 2 Cups of flour,
1/2 Cup icing sugar ...and these were the main ingredients. so I'm looking for a recipe that
approximates these ingredients and quantities. Thanks.
