Required Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted, melted butter
- 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ¼ ounce to ¾ ounce of decarbed flower, the amount depends on desired strength

- ½ cup of chocolate chips
- Cannabis
Note: Feel free to add a variety of different flavors and ingredients to this recipe per your preferences.
Required Kitchen Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or rubber spatula
- Greased baking sheet
Directions
- Decarb your herb using the oven method or for best results, use a Nova decarboxylator. When your weed is decarbed, grind it into small pieces to mix into cookie dough.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and grease two baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
- Mix 2 cups flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and decarbed bud in a large bowl, set aside.
- In a second bowl using a mixer, cream together ¾ cup of melted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and ⅓ cup white sugar. Beat in 1 tablespoon vanilla, the egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy.
- Mix in dry ingredients until incorporated. Using a spatula, fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto your prepared cookie sheets, being sure to leave a few inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are light brown. Remove from oven and let sit on cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to wire cooling rack. As with all edibles, start slow until you know your tolerance level.
- The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days. (Hint: To keep them moist, store a single slice of bread in the container with them.) For even longer freshness store the canna-cookies in the freezer and warm them covered in the toaster for an freshly-baked taste up to 2-3 weeks later.

This whole decarbing discussion has been great! Since there cannot be a NOVA in my future $$$, I’ve been doing a bunch of reading/research (ty Ardent and Leafly) and even oven testing. My oven holds a steady 198F so I’m gonna do a 75 mins. batch and play! Then I saw a Magical Butter Decarb kit on Amazon, so I’m gonna try that! Hello, we need an affordable lab, like 23nMe, where people can send in a sample for THC % only!!! Thanks for those recipes and ALL the incredible educational info you share! Bringing out the Scientist in me!
Awesome machine. My wife hates the taste of the herb, but needs the medication. Smoking is hard on the lungs.
We decarb shatter and then reheat with oil for half an hour, as per your instructions. One gram shatter to one ounce avocado oil, then we put the combined THC/avocado oil into capsules. One sativa pill for day, and one indica pill for evening. This puts our THC levels up where not as much smoking is required.
We also decarb all our flower, just as soon as we get home from the dispensary. Some goes to making hard candies (with herbal taste), the rest we smoke in narrower papers that take less herb, and in smaller bowls. We used to fill our bowl rack, fitted with four bowls, for a single sesh. Now, we rarely finish a bowl on the first sesh, the medication is just so much more effective. That same 4 bowl rack lasts a couple of days now, but we only load one or two bowls at a time because we won’t use it in a day.
We calculated that we would save the purchase price of the NOVA in about six weeks, and we were right, so now we are just reaping the rewards.I’m an economist, so I calculated everything from the cost of shatter, cost of flower, worked out the math for daily use costs, figuring in our THC requirements before we invested in the NOVA. The results are as expected,
All the stems and seeds that you don’t need, (sorry Chech and Chong) go into a jar for later inclusion into hard candies for travel, so we glean as much THC as we can using stuff we used to toss.
The NOVA has completely changed the way we medicate, we are now in a more level state, keeping THC levels more constant, with fewer ups and downs, and way less time investment than smoking every couple hours. This keeps my, ‚Hey look,I’m walking!‚Äù feeling going all day long.
I bought my Nova lift about 3 weeks ago and I am amazed every time I use it because of its accuracy and its multiple uses. I love my Magical Butter machine but it can’t decarb and you have to infuse at least two cups of of liquid to use it. The Ardent can Decarboxylate then infuse as little as a couple of tablespoons of liquid/oil. Sorry Magical Butter Machine…you’ve been bumped to #2. The Ardent Lift is my #1 Cannabis Tool….
Is there an easy way to figure out the potency of each cookie from the first recipe?
If I put in one gram or even two gram of decarbed weed, what will the thc level be per cookie in terms or mg if my starting material is Aprox 19-20%?
