Cannabis Ginger Snap Cookies With Molasses
Ginger Snaps – The Infusion
You can use cannamargarine, cannashortening or cannabutter to make infused ginger snap cookies. Use shortening for a crumbly, soft cookie. Alternatively, margarine creates a firmer, snappier ginger snap. Finally, butter gives a similar texture to margarine but adds the dimension of buttery flavor to your cookies.
If you are using cannabutter without removing the plant material, reduce flour in recipe by 1 Tablespoon for every 4 grams dried cannabis.
Mixing Things Up
The first step in making cannabis infused ginger snap cookies is to mix together cannabutter, brown sugar, molasses and egg. Do not mix too much air into your batter. Although it looks light and fluffy, it will disappoint you by falling. Watch closely when using a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer*.
Mix dry ingredients together in a separate bowl, then add it to the wet mixture. Again, be careful not to over mix the batter.
Rolling
Using an ice cream scoop, divide the ginger snap batter into 12 equal portions. Next, roll the dough into balls and press into sugar so the tops are covered. This makes a very attractive and sweeter ginger snap in the end. Give the dough balls lots of room by spreading them out among 2 cookie sheets. Squish down balls slightly- just enough to put them out of their round shape. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Baking Temperature
Bake each sheet of cookies separately at 375° F for about 12 to 13 minutes. The THC will not degrade by baking at this temperature because the internal temperature of the cookies only rises to about 200° F.
Responsible Edibles Use
You should always store your infused ginger snap cookies in a safe place out of reach of pets and children. Use childproof or lockable containers to prevent accidental ingestion. In addition, you can download label templates from Avery.ca for free. This means that you can make your own warning stickers for containers that you use to store your ginger snaps.

Notes
Softer Variation
For softer cookies, you can use shortening instead of margarine. Be sure to add 1 1/2 tbsp water. You may also use cake and pastry flour instead of all purpose flour. This will result in softer, stickier dough, but cookies will be softer.Lemon Variation
For lemon ginger snap cookies, add 2 tsp lemon extract to the creamed mixture.Nutrition
