Cannabis-infused Gingerbread Cookies for the Holidaze!

Let’s face it! The holidays can be a bit stressful. Winter is normally the time that Nature is asking us to turn intuitively inward and yet Culture is asking us to be out and about, socializing and shopping. It can be a depleting time of year and sometimes a bit joyless, so put some pep in your step and take the edge off with some cannabis-tinged gingerbread cookies!

This recipe will instruct using Synergy Wellness tincture # 119 Sativa Blend in Sesame oil.

Edibles are a tricky thing and you have to do some calculus to make sure you are getting a happy amount in each cookie. You also must remember that these are delicious so you don’t want to eat the whole batch! So dosing these is up to your own measurements. I personally like my edibles to be in the 5-7 mg THC range. So, if I were to make these cookies, I would probably aim for about half that amount in each cookie so I could eat two because who just wants to eat one cookie? Not I!

You can also choose to make these with a CBD-dominant tincture so that their psychotropic effects are not detectable but you will still be getting all the benefits that CBD can bring (anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory). For CBD tincture, dosage is not as important.

This recipe yields 36 cookies and I will be calculating this recipe with a dose of roughly 3 mg THC Per cookie. Please adjust accordingly. And it’s always recommended, no matter how delicious, that you start with one cookie and wait an hour to see how it affects you (unless you are well aware of your tolerances and limits).

Feel free to decorate by frosting/icing to your heart’s delight (Your decorations might be more fanciful if you eat a cookie first before icing the rest of the batch!).

From our Synergy Wellness family to yours, we wish you a very healthy, happy, and high holiday season!
