Recipe: Cookie Butter

Grab a spoon for this smooth and creamy spread

What Is Cookie Butter? 

Popularized in Europe and called speculoos in Belgium, this decadent cookie spread is like peanut butter’s cousin, except made with Biscoff cookies. Trader Joe’s started selling Speculoos Cookie Butter spread in jars alongside peanut butter and almond butter, Ben & Jerry’s made cookie butter ice cream with speculoos at the core, and the U.S. obsession with cookie butter took off.  

Below is my recipe for how you can make homemade cannabis cookie butter using infused cookies. 

I'm partial to Big Pete’s cookies that are made using cannabutter and come in a variety of flavors including chocolate chip, peanut butter, cinnamon & sugar, lemon, birthday cake, double chocolate, insane churro, and strawberry coconut. Any of these cookies can be turned into a smooth and creamy Cannabis Cookie Butter spread.  

You can substitute with any brand of infused cookies, check the label to adjust dosing. Or use any cookie, infused or not!

Cannabis-Infused Cookie Butter Recipe

DOSING: 

Makes 2 cups (14 oz.). The entire batch contains 240mg THC. 1 tablespoon of cookie butter contains ~8.5mg THC. 

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

Mini food processor

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups (230g) Big Pete’s cookies, finely ground (24 cookies)

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

• 1/4 cup evaporated milk

• 1/4 teaspoon salt 

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Place the cookie crumbs in a large heat-safe bowl. In a small saucepan over medium, heat the butter, condensed milk, evaporated milk until melted.

2. Remove from heat and pour half into the cookie crumbs and stir to combine. Add the rest of the liquid into the cookie crumbs just until it is wet enough to hold its shape. The consistency should be like stiff, thick peanut butter. If it’s too wet and runny, add more cookie crumbs. 

3. Transfer into glass jars and set aside to cool to room temp. Chill in the fridge to store for up to 14 days.

Big Pete's cookies taste and feel great because they use cannabutter, “made the old fashioned way” with cannabis from local Santa Cruz farms. Read my Q+A with this family owned and operated business to see why I'm head over heels with this brand. (Not sponsored, I just love their cookies!)

I'm on the road this week traveling through Mendocino, Sonoma, and Lake Counties on a *Catnip* Road Trip. We even stopped at a saffron farm! The hospitality in wine + weed country is unparalleled. I'll share my itinerary and more to come!

XOXO, Christina W.
