Why Cannabis-Infused Peanut Butter Cookies Are a Favorite

Peanut butter cookies stand out in the edibles world for good reason—they’re simple, nostalgic, and incredibly forgiving. The rich, nutty taste naturally complements cannabis earthiness, hiding any green notes better than many recipes.

From my experiments, these cookies became my go-to after harvests because they’re portion-controlled and travel well. A couple of them and a glass of milk makes for a very restful nights sleep.

Additionally, peanut butter’s high fat content boosts THC absorption for stronger, longer-lasting effects. I’ve shared batches with friends who swear they’re more potent than brownies. In 2026, classic infused peanut butter cookies remain popular for their ease and reliability. For foundational infusion, revisit our cannabutter guide.

Always check local laws before growing or making edibles, as legality varies. This recipe ties growing education to consumption—using your own buds makes it personal and very rewarding.

Ingredients for Perfect Cannabis Peanut Butter Cookies

This recipe yields about 24 cookies—easy to scale. Focus on quality ingredients for best texture and flavor.

• 1 cup creamy (or chunky if you prefer) peanut butter (natural works great too)
• 1/2 cup cannabis-infused butter (softened; see prep below)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Optional: Extra sugar for rolling, chocolate chips, or sea salt topping

From experience, crunchy peanut butter adds texture—I’ve loved it in hybrid batches.

Use unsalted cannabutter to control flavor.

Preparing Your Cannabutter or Infusion

Strong cookies start with proper infusion. Use your homemade cannabutter from decarbed cannabis.

I’ve learned the hard way: Skipping full decarb leads to weak edibles. For peanut butter lovers, try infusing directly into PB for extra potency—stir decarbed ground flower into warmed peanut butter and strain. However, cannabutter mixes evenly here.

Pro tip from 2026 trends: Low-temp decarb preserves terpenes that pair beautifully with peanut butter’s nuttiness. Cannabis actually makes them taste better!

Step-by-Step Cannabis-Infused Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment, or a non stick spray.

1. Cream together peanut butter, cannabutter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy (2-3 minutes).
2. Beat in egg and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet—mix until just combined.
5. Roll dough into 1-inch balls, roll in sugar, place on sheet 2 inches apart.
6. Flatten with fork tines for classic crisscross pattern.
7. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges golden—centers stay soft.
8. Cool on sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to rack.

Chilling dough 30 minutes prevents spreading. For even baking, rotate sheets halfway.

Calculating Potency in Your THC Cookies

Dosing matters—start low. If your cannabutter has ~20mg THC per tablespoon and you use 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup), total ~160mg for 24 cookies = about 6-7mg per cookie (assuming 80% efficiency).

Adjust based on your batch. From experience, I label jars and test one cookie first—wait 1 hours. For stronger, use more infused butter. Tools like our guides help estimate—tie to potency tips.

In 2026, micro-dosing edibles like these is trending for control and wellness.

Best Strains for Peanut Butter Edibles

Nutty indicas shine here—Granddaddy Purple or BadAss BB’s for relaxation.

From my grows, earthy hybrids like Sugar Haze complement PB perfectly.

High-THC options boost potency. Experiment with terpenes—myrcene-rich strains enhance the mellow vibe.

Variations and Fun Twists on the Classic

Add chocolate chips for PB-chocolate bliss (inspired by a chocolate loving friend).

Vegan? Use coconut oil infusion and egg substitute.

• Gluten-free: Use almond flour
• Extra crunchy: Chopped nuts (my fav!) or sprinkle in some kief…(but don’t get carried away)
• No-bake: Mix with oats and chill

I’ve even tried bacon bits for savory cookies!

Troubleshooting Common Cookie Issues

Too flat? Chill dough longer. Dry/crumbly? More moisture next time.

• Weak effects: Check decarb/infusion strength, or eat another cookie ;o)
• Bitter taste: Over-decarbed or fine grind, or you have added too much.
• Uneven potency: Mix batter thoroughly…always important in cannabis recipes.
