Cooking With Cannabis: Cannabis Bacon Fat Peanut Butter Cookies

Cooking With Cannabis: Cannabis Bacon Fat Peanut Butter Cookies

In this edition of Cooking with Cannabis, Chef Sebastian Carosi - the short -order cannabis revolutionary - gives The Bluntness his recipe for Cannabis Bacon Fat Peanut Butter Cookies.

Cannabis Bacon Fat Peanut Butter Cookies

  • Servings: 24 cookies
  • Total THC/CBD: Depends on the potency of the products used
  • Prep time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10-12 minutes

Note From Chef Carosi

As a cannabis enthusiast (aka stoner) and professional chef for over 20 years, I have infused cannabinoids into a tremendous number of things, from high octane alcohols to MCT oil, grape-seed oil, hemp seed oil, creamery butter, coconut oil, and extra virgin olive oil. But the most exciting of all the fats I have used to help bind to all of the readily available cannabinoids in cannabis has got to be bacon fat, yup you hear me.


I realize that 99% of the previously mentioned fats and oils are plant-derived but according to an article I read in the June 1st, 2016, issue of High Times Magazine, bacon fat is one of the top three fats to use when extracting those readily available cannabinoids and terpenes found in cannabis.

Over the years I have transformed this super simple, traditional peanut butter cookie recipe that has floated around the family cookie archives for decades to include a couple of full-spectrum cannabis products that will help mellow situations and liven up the conversation at any event. (cannabis tends to do that) Do not skip the light sprinkle of sea salt flakes, it's a palette-pleasing addition.

Equipment Needed

  • stand mixer or handheld mixer
  • 2 stainless mixing bowls
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • rubber spatula
  • parchment-lined baking sheet
  • spatula
  • wire rack

Ingredients

  • ½ cup crunchy organic peanut butter
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 large pasture raised farm egg
  • 1½ cups organic AP flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp Jacobsen sea salt flakes
  • ½ cup salted peanuts (rough chopped)

How To Make It

1. Preheat an oven to 350°.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a stainless bowl with an electric mixer, beat the bacon fat, peanut butter, peanuts, and sugar until the mixture lightens in color and the mixture becomes creamy. (about 3 to 4 minutes)

3. Add the egg and keep beating until completely incorporated.

4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and the kosher salt.

5. Slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until all the ingredients are combined well.

6. Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch around. Place the cookie dough about 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet and gently press the top of each cookie dough ball with a fork dipped in granulated sugar to make a crisscross pattern.

7. Sprinkle the cookie tops with the sea salt flakes.

8. Bake the cookies for 9 to 10 minutes (this is the perfect time to smoke another joint), or until they are barely browned around the edges. (do not over-bake the cookies. the cookies may appear slightly puffed, but it's all good, they are all okay.)

9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

10. Then carefully transfer the dank 'n delicate cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before devouring.

The Truth About THC Candle: Cannabis Candles & How to Make Your Own

There are several different ways to consume cannabis, and some of them don’t even involve actual consumption. Cannabis candles are beginning to take over the candle game, allowing cannabis enthusiasts to enjoy the smells they’re used to having to cover up and hide: the danky goodness of weed.

As cannabis becomes less stigmatized in modern culture, people are beginning to come out and admit to their cannabis use. While smoking weed used to be something people felt they had to keep on the down low, the culture is becoming increasingly mainstream and the scent is now sought after rather than condemned. Many cannabis candles feature complex scent profiles, including notes of amber, which contribute to a rich and layered aromatic experience.

Weed Makes Me Antisocial: Help!

Many people can relate to the experience of “hitting a wall” socially. Introverts, you especially know what I mean. But when self-enforced isolation is weed-induced, does that mean it’s time to reconsider a few habits or routines? Maybe even take a break from weed entirely?

Cannabis has long been negatively associated with laziness and haziness, and although that isn’t always the case with cannabis consumers, it also isn’t that far off from the truth if you haven’t optimized your regimen. Marijuana use, in particular, has occasionally been linked to various mental health and behavioral effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, and antisocial behavior, while also being linked to alleviating these same symptoms. So it's important to understand how cannabis works with and for your body and needs.
