Why Vegan and Gluten-Free?

You may wonder why we’ve chosen to go vegan and gluten-free with these cookies. There are a number of reasons why these modifications make sense, especially for a growing number of people with dietary restrictions, including many stoners who are looking for a healthier way to enjoy their edibles.

Vegan: By using plant-based alternatives for eggs and butter, this recipe ensures that no animals are harmed in the making of these tasty treats. It’s a great option for those who follow a vegan lifestyle or want to try more plant-based recipes. Plus, it’s perfect for a stoner looking for a compassionate snack.

Gluten-Free: This recipe is also ideal for anyone who suffers from gluten intolerance or celiac disease. The gluten-free flour blend ensures you can enjoy the deliciousness of chocolate chip cookies without worrying about discomfort—perfect for a stoner with a sensitive stomach.

But the best part? Even though they’re vegan and gluten-free, these cookies still taste just like the classic chocolate chip cookies you know and love. And when you infuse them with cannabis tinctures, you get an extra layer of relaxation and enjoyment—ideal for any stoner looking to elevate their snack game.

The Ingredients You’ll Need

Before you get your hands doughy, let’s gather everything we need to create these cannabis-infused chocolate chip cookies. These ingredients are all stoner approved, and will have you baking up a storm in no time.

1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (look for a blend that includes xanthan gum for the best texture) 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted, or you can substitute with vegan butter) 1/4 cup maple syrup (or agave nectar) 1/4 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar for a more refined taste) 1/4 cup plant-based milk (almond, coconut, or oat milk all work great) 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips 1 to 2 tsp cannabis tincture (depending on desired potency—this is where the stoner magic happens!)

The Material You’ll Need

When it comes to baking with cannabis, having the right cookware can make all the difference. For these infused chocolate chip cookies, I used Le Creuset bakeware, and it truly elevated the experience. Le Creuset’s high-quality, durable materials ensure even heat distribution, which is key when baking infused treats like these cookies. Whether you’re a stoner baker or a seasoned pro, the results will be top-notch every time.

How to Make Cannabis-Infused Vegan & Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Now that we’ve got our ingredients ready, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of making these decadent cannabis-infused cookies.

1. Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your cookies don’t stick and bake evenly. This is an essential step to make sure your cookies come out crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside—just like any stoner would want.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this bowl aside.

3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In a separate large bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, and plant-based milk. Stir them together until fully combined. Add the vanilla extract and cannabis tincture and mix again. The cannabis tincture will infuse seamlessly into the wet ingredients, making it easier to dose evenly. A stoner knows how important proper infusion is!

Tip: Start with 1 tsp of cannabis tincture and increase it depending on your desired potency. Remember that tinctures are potent, and it’s always better to start with less and adjust in later batches. Even the most experienced stoners know this trick!

4. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until everything is well combined. The dough should be thick but pliable. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more plant-based milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the right consistency.

5. Add the Chocolate Chips

Gently fold the dairy-free chocolate chips into the cookie dough. Make sure the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the dough, so every bite gets that sweet chocolatey goodness. After all, every stoner knows the importance of a balanced bite!

6. Scoop and Shape the Dough

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into balls about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart so they have room to spread as they bake. You can even gently press the dough balls down with the back of a spoon to flatten them slightly for a chewier texture. A true stoner knows the right dough-to-cookie ratio.

7. Bake the Cookies

Place your baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center. Keep an eye on them toward the end to avoid overbaking, as gluten-free cookies tend to firm up quickly once out of the oven—just like a stoner on a late-night baking binge!

8. Cool and Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and makes them easier to handle. Once cooled, enjoy your cannabis-infused, vegan, and gluten-free chocolate chip cookies—perfect for any stoner snack time!

Tips for Perfect Cannabis-Infused Cookies

• Start Slow with Your Dosing: When cooking with cannabis tinctures, it’s always best to start slow and increase the dosage gradually. If you're new to edibles, stick with 1 tsp of tincture and try a cookie after about 1-2 hours to gauge its effects. Even a stoner can appreciate the power of patience!
• Even Infusion: Cannabis tinctures are ideal for even infusion, but make sure you stir the wet ingredients well to ensure the tincture is evenly distributed throughout the dough. This helps avoid spots where the cookies are either too strong or too weak in terms of cannabis potency—something no stoner wants.
• Store Properly: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them for longer, you can freeze the dough before baking or store the cookies in the freezer for up to a month. Just pop them in the oven for a few minutes to refresh them before serving! The perfect storage tip for any stoner baker.

Why Le Creuset Bakeware Is a Great Choice for Infused Baking

When baking with cannabis, the quality of your bakeware can make a significant difference in the final outcome of your cookies. Le Creuset, known for its high-quality cookware, also offers fantastic bakeware that ensures even heat distribution and long-lasting durability.

• Even Heat Distribution: Le Creuset bakeware helps ensure that your cookies bake evenly, so you don’t end up with overcooked edges and raw centers. This is especially important when working with delicate gluten-free dough.
• Easy to Clean: Their non-stick coating means that the cookies won’t stick to your pans, making cleanup a breeze.
• Durability: Le Creuset bakeware is built to last, so you can rely on it for many batches of cannabis-infused treats in the future—perfect for any stoner who bakes often!
