Howdy!
Made up some cannabutter and cookies yesterday...thought I'd share what I learned.
For the cannabutter: Used all the trimmings and immature/semi-immature buds from the last
AK48. I don't really know how much it was...maybe an ounce of "material"
I didn't use fan leaves without visible tricomes. Didn't use large stems.
So I get a few cups of water to a rolling boil then reduce heat to "2" and add a bit over 1/2 cup of butter.
(i need 1/2 cup of butter for my recipe...and there IS waste which is why I suggest you use a bit more than you need)
When the butter is melted and stirred in I further reduce the heat to "1" and then add the marijuana material.
I simmer all of this for one hour...stirring occasionally.
Turn off heat. Let sit for 10 minutes to cool down a bit. I have a bowl or a large container ready...I have cheesecloth
over the opening. I attach the cheesecloth with rubber bands to the opening. Leave a large depression in the middle
of the cheesecloth that is over the opening. That "valley" will collect the plant material when you pour everything
through the cheesecloth into the container. After the liquid has been poured in...
It is important that you squeeze the living bajeebus out of the plant material in the cheesecloth. You want to squeeze
every last drop of butter/water into your container.
Let your container chill in the refrigerator. Right away you'll notice a greenish layer on top of the water...and brown water
beneath this layer. (If you used a transparent container like I did that is) This will have to chill a good 2 - 3 hours. The butter
will harden on top. Then it's a matter of scooping the butter off and gently pouring the crap water down the sink. Do it gently
as you do not want to lose even little bits of butter if you can help it.
Now you have 1/2 cup of strong canna-butter! (Make it strong...as it's not the main ingredient in most "normal" recipes)
Here is the "normal" recipe that I followed...substituting cannabutter for reg. butter.
They taste a bit earthy...but not unpleasant. The method for making cannabutter that I decribed takes out/filters out the
really harsh tasting crap.
This recipe makes about thirty 1/2 dollar sized cookies. I ate two to test.
Took 1.5 hours...then I started feeling something. I noticed it when I stood up to get something to drink. 2 hours in...I was WASTED.
As in kinda TOO high. That lasted a solid 2 more hours before I hit a munchie frenzy and then a crash. ;P
Enjoy!

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened (cannabutter!)
2/3 cup honey
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Preheat oven to 345. Cream together butter, sugar and honey. Stir in the eggs and peanut butter. Sift the flour and baking powder
and then blend into peanut butter mixture. Shape into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Give them the

chocolate chip into the center top of each cookie. Cool.
