Ingredients for Edible Cookies

Cookies are just about the simplest and easiest baked goods you can make, especially when it comes to edibles. With just a few ingredients and a little bit of effort, you can have delicious, tasty treats that both look and feel great. Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make basic edible cookies:

1. Flour

You can’t really make cookies without flour. All-purpose flour is usually the best bet, but for those on a gluten-free diet, you can switch it out for almond or coconut flour.

2. Sugar

You can use either granulated or brown sugar or a combination of both. Brown sugar will give the cookies a more chewy texture, while granulated sugar will help make them crispy.

3. Cannabis Butter / Cannabis-Infused Cooking Oil

Cannabis-infused butter or oil is essential to make sure that your cookies are, in fact, ‘edibles’. Infusing your butter or oil with cannabis will allow you to experience the benefits of marijuana in a form you can consume more easily. However, be sure to use the right potency as overdose or underdose can lead to unwanted side effects.

4. Eggs

Eggs act as a binding agent and help give the cookies their structure. Use fresh eggs for the best results.

5. Butter

Unsalted butter is preferred; this will give you complete control over the salt levels in your cookies. Room temperature butter makes it easier to cream it with sugar.

6. Baking Powder / Baking Soda

Baking powder or baking soda helps the cookies rise, and you get to have soft, fluffy cookies.

7. Vanilla Extract

Vanilla extract gives a sweet and tasty smell and helps remove cannabis’ pungent flavour.

8. Salt

Salt is used to enhance the flavours of the cookies.

9. Chocolate Chips / Nuts / Raisins / Cranberries

These toppings are optional, but you can add toppings you’d prefer.

10. Mixing bowls, measuring cups/spoons, parchment paper and baking trays

Have all these ready to help you in the cooking process. Ensure that your mixing bowls are clean to avoid contamination of ingredients. Parchment paper is used to line the baking tray and avoid the cookies from sticking to the tray.

Now that you have all the ingredients set, you can start making the dough for your edibles.

Ingredients Needed to Make Edible Cookies

Once you’ve decided to bake some tasty, edibles cookies, it’s important to gather all the necessary ingredients first. Here are some key ingredients that you’ll need to make these delicious treats:

1. Flour: You’ll need all-purpose flour or pastry flour for making cookies. And don’t forget to sift the flour before you use it to get rid of clumps and lumps.

2. Sugar: You’ll need granulated sugar or brown sugar, depending on your preferences.

3. Butter: Most cookie recipes call for unsalted butter, but if you’re using salted butter, adjust the salt measurement accordingly. The butter should be at room temperature, not too soft or too hard.

4. Eggs: You’ll need large eggs that are at room temperature.

5. Baking powder and baking soda: These ingredients make cookies rise and puff up during baking, so don’t skip them.

6. Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the flavor of cookies and balances out the sweetness.

7. Vanilla extract: Adding vanilla extract to the dough gives cookies a nice flavor and aroma.

8. Chocolate chips, nuts, coconut flakes, or other add-ins: These are optional but they make the cookies tastier and more interesting.

9. Milk or cream: For some cookie recipes, a little bit of milk or cream is needed to help the dough come together.

10. Cannabis: Finally, don’t forget to have your cannabis ready so you can make the edibles portion of the cookies!

Now that you’ve got all the ingredients sorted, let’s move on to the next section where we’ll discuss the steps involved in making the dough for the edibles cookies.

Ingredients Needed for Making Edible Cookies

The Flour

Flours are the base of any recipe, and for making cookies, all-purpose flour is the most popular choice. It contains a moderate level of protein which is just enough for cookies to hold their shape as they bake. Apart from all-purpose flour, you can also use almond flour, oat flour, or any other flour you like. Each flour has its unique taste and texture, so pick the flour that suits your taste and preference.

The Sugar

Sugar plays an essential role in giving cookies their sweet taste and texture. Granulated white sugar, brown sugar, and powdered sugar are the most commonly used sugars in cookie baking. Brown sugar makes denser and chewier cookies, while granulated sugar makes cookies crisper and crunchier. Powdered sugar is mostly used when a finer texture is desired, such as in royal icing.

The Fat

The fat used in making cookies adds richness and flavor. Butter is the most popular fat used in cookie recipes, giving a creamy and rich texture. Other fat options include margarine, coconut oil, shortening, and lard. Margarine and shortening make cookies a little more tender but reduce the flavor. Coconut oil adds a subtle coconut flavor to the cookies, while lard makes them crispy.

The Leaveners

Leaveners like baking powder and baking soda help the cookies to rise, creating a soft and fluffy texture. Baking soda is used when there is an acidic ingredient, such as brown sugar, in the recipe. Baking powder is used when there isn’t any acidic ingredient and is a combination of baking soda and cream of tartar. Make sure you use the right amount of leavener called for in the recipe; otherwise, your cookies won’t rise correctly.

The Extras

Extras ingredients are added to give the cookies flavor, texture, and color. Chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruits, spices, extracts, and food coloring are a few extras commonly used in cookie recipes. However, make sure you don’t add too many extras; otherwise, the cookie dough can become too thick and heavy.

With these ingredients, you can now start making your own cookies. In the next section, we will discuss the proper procedure for making edible cookies.
