Delta 8 THC Edible Cookie Dough Recipe

These are the best Chocolate Chip Cookies you will ever make. As a bonus, we've infused it with Delta 8 THC Distillate for ultimate relaxation. This recipe yields 21 cookies with 10mg of Delta 8 THC in each cookie. You can always adjust the amount of Delta 8 THC for a higher or lower dose.  

Delta 8 Cookie Ingredients 

.25 grams of Delta  8 Hemp Distillate (this is going to be 1/4 of your Delta 8 syringe. Alternatively, if you are not using a syringe, you can weigh your distillate to .25 grams)

Servings: 21

42g Unsalted Butter (room temperature)

42g Cream cheese (room temperature) 

42g  Shortening

122.5g Brown Sugar

40g Sugar 

1Large Egg

10.5g Vanilla Extract

230g AP Flour

4g Baking Soda

2g Salt

118g Dark Chocolate Chips

118g Milk Chocolate Chips

Step 1 - Preparing Your Delta-8 Extract

First, we have to liquefy the Delta 8 Hemp Distillate; this will allow the distillate to release from the syringe. Place the syringe in hot water for about 5 minutes; this will loosen up the Delta-8 Distillate. Tip: you will see a bubble inside the syringe. If and when that bubble can move up and down when you rotate the syringe, your distillate is ready to come out. (think of the bubble inside a leveling tool a construction worker uses)

Step 2 - Blending Your THC Extract

Mix the Delta 8 Distillate with Shortening and then microwave it for 10 seconds or until the shortening is melted (Do not overcook). Take the mixture out of the microwave and blend until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Next, please place it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or until the shorting becomes solid again. We do this to ensure the Delta-8 is distributed evenly throughout each cookie. While waiting for the shorting to set up, you can start preparing the cookie mixture's dry ingredients.

Step 3 - Pre-Heating and Sifting

Preheat the oven to 350 Fํ; Sift your all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in the same bowl, and set aside.

Step 4 - Prepare Your Sugar 

Sift the brown sugar into a mixing bowl to break up any lumps.   Combine your sifted brown sugar and white sugar.  Mix well and set aside.

Step 5 - Creaming The Butter with Delta-8

In a mixer (or by hand in a bowl), mix butter, cream cheese, and the Delta 8-infused shortening you made earlier. Be careful not to over-mix. Once the ingredients are combined, you can stop. Over-mixing can lead to a flat THC cookie. 

Step 6 - Adding Your Sugar

Add your sugar mixture and whisk until blended.  Again, make sure you do not over-mix the ingredients.   

Step 7 - Getting Even Distribution 

Add your egg and vanilla extract to your cookie mixture. Mix all the ingredients until smooth. Tip: stop midway and scape the sides of your bowl, ensuring even distribution of the Delta 8 distillate and all your other ingredients.  

Step 8 - Adding Your Dry Ingredients

Now it's time to add your dry ingredients; mix them well, ensuring you don't over-mix. Once mixed, you can add your chocolate chips. Gently fold in your chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. 

Step 9 - Portioning Out Your Delta 8 Dough 

Portion the THC cookie dough into small balls. Weigh each ball to 37 grams (If you don't have a gram scale, you can eyeball the dough. This is not recommended, but it's possible). Place your evenly portioned THC cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 

Pro-tip: make the cookie balls not too close together as they will expand while getting baked. Four rows of cookie balls, each containing three cookie balls, is a good amount when using a standard baking sheet. (See picture below)

Step 10 - Flattening Out Your Delta 8 Cookies

Flatten the cookie dough by placing another baking tray on top, then apply pressure with both hands until the balls become flat.  (See picture below)

Step 11 - Bake Your Delta 8 Cookies

Put the cookies in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, turning the tray 180 degrees halfway through the cooking process.

Step 12 - Almost Done!

Take the Delta 8 cookies out of the oven, rest them for 10 minutes, and there you have it! Soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chips. This is the best Delta 8 Chocolate Chip Cookie you have ever eaten. This will be the best chocolate chip cookie you have ever eaten. The addition of Delta 8-THC is just a bonus!
