Can We Make Our Own CBD Cookies?

Yes, we can make our own CBD cookies. CBD, known far and wide for its miracle-effects, comes in many forms: topical lotion, oral tablets, tinctures, sprays, and many more. But now a question arises, is CBD edible? Can we make our own CBD cookies?

The Answer To This Question Is A Plain, Simple YES; why Not! 

CBD cookies are suffused with Cannabidiol (CBD) oil, having a deficient THC level. Others may consider this an ‘evil’ compound because of its psychoactive effects. You can also infuse CBD itself in all kinds of baked products to experience and observe its beneficial effects.

How Do I Infuse CBD While Baking The Cookies?

There is no rocket-science in baking CBD cookies. The method is quite simple and sleek. It is thoughtful and deliberate to add CBD oil into a similar nature ingredient like oil, butter, etc., for better absorption and then bake in a routinely based manner. The amount of CBD infused can also predict how cookies are feasible to be baked. Usually, 7mg to 10mg CBD oil per cookie is sufficient, but you can increase it up to 25 mg. 

One vital point to keep in mind while baking CBD cookies is optimum temperature. Above or below this temperature, the product will not be desirable enough to consume. Also, heating for a prolonged duration of time denatures the basic essential components, and hence it loses effectiveness. Therefore, CO2 extraction to process CBD is widely in use.

For storing CBD cookies, use an airtight jar to ensure that the cookies don’t get enough light and do not get warm. This way, the cookies will be fresh and cool while maintaining quality.

Are CBD Cookies Compliant?
