Ok, so I have received mixed opinions on this. If I was to make a batch of peanut butter cookies, could I just grind up a couple grams and sprinkle it in the batter of 2 or 3 of the cookies and cook it as directed?

I know canabutter/oil would be better, by my parents are pretty strict and I don't wanna make the kitchen reek of weed. I figure the smell of ~10 other non-weed cookies would cover the smell (if any).

I don't care how they taste, so I don't care that there's still weed sprinklies in the cookies.

So, would this get me high? Is it nearly as efficient as canabutter?

I would say it's less efficient, but it SHOULD work... Don't just sprinkle it in there though. I'd add it to the mix, and then blend it until you can't see any weed pieces left. If there is a visible chunk, you're going to be chewing on it. And trust me; chewing on weed is not something you'll particularly enjoy. You want to able to see the cookies and not notice weed because it's blended so finely; that's the way to go.

it will still stink
it wont get you as high
it'll taste like ass
you will regret wasting your weed

Yes, it will get him high... The butter alone should have enough fat to absorb the cannabinoids, and then the heat from cooking should activate them. One he eats the cookies he'll get high. Normally a few grams wouldn't be anywhere NEAR enough for cooking with. But if he only plans to make a couple cookies, it's possible for him to get high from them. But it might make the spot smell a little... Not like you smoked a bowl or anything, but it certainly won't smell like a normal cookie batch. Maybe more so since you only plan on making a couple pot cookies. And it should taste pretty good actually; you shouldn't taste the weed at all if it's ground finely. All you should end up tasting is cookie. He will definitely regret it if he fucks up, but who wouldn't? To be honest though, I'd probably just smoke the shit since you're only dealing with a few grams, especially if it's shwaggy brick weed, because then you wouldn't feel anything baking it (most likely).

Ya know what... I have made cannabutter... I did it right (not like it is hard to fuck up) and hands down, the cookies I bought with ground shake just thrown in the batter were WAY WAY better.

I have gotten high slightly high from cannabutter and leary biscuits, BUT, nothing compares to cooking all of the plant material in with the batter... somehow it just really does the trick.

Haha it's funny that you mention this. I used to swear by the cannabutter method as well, but I was talking to a really down to earth dealer I know and he's made literally over 100 batches of brownies. He agrees with you, and says that he knows several hippy-ass people that think so as well.

He says that while cannabutter is pretty damn effective, no matter what the fact that you're cooking the THC twice is going to reduce the amount you end up with. This makes sense considering there's no such thing as a 100% efficient process.

So if you grind it up finely and put it into the mix, which already has the oil in it at this point, the mix will essentially combine into the same thing as a regular blend of cannabutter and brownie/cookie mix. You do this without having to heat it twice, which means it's more potent than the regular cannabutter method, as you mentioned.

I'm definitely trying it next time I make weed brownies/cookies.

I make hash cookies. I heat enough hash for a joint and sprinkle that on a cookie with some butter and add another cookie on top of it then microwave it. I don't know if this is an efficient method but it always gets me really high for about 5 hours, although I use enough hash only for a single spliff. It tastes terrible but the high is worth it.

What about the smell? I'll cook two separate batches of 10-12 cookies each. I'll cook the batch with the pot cookies first, and then the second, normal batch. What would you recommend to cover up the smell?

What about potency? I have roughly 10 grams of fairly high-quality bud, but I only want to get me and a friend baked.

The recipe calls for 0.5 cups of butter and 1 cup of peanut butter. Considering the total will be about 20-25 cookies, how much pot can one cookie absorb, given it's butter/fat content? How much should I put in each of the pot cookies?

Keep in mind that I only want a small amount of weed cookies, not a fat batch of them.

Thanks in advance?

The smell isn't really that bad with brownies, but I've never made cookies. I've always just thrown my bud in a coffee grinder or a blender and powdered it. If there is a bit of smell, I personally guarantee that it won't be pungent enough to resist some lysol or something.

I've always just used cheap regular weed for a batch....and a quarter is usually good for the whole pan....half O is good. Anything beyond that is too much I think. Do some math and figure out how much you want to use.

So, what your saying is that if you have all the brownie mix ready to go in the bowl, ready to be put into the pan, and you just mix some grinded up weed into it, you will get the same effect?

Bad, bad bad. No, don't do that. Make the extra effort to make the butter. It won't even smell when it's cooking. It'll just smell like the cookies that are baking. If you want to go ahead and just put shake or keef in your batter, you'll just end up pissed off with a gritty feeling in your mouth/throat. Trust me. The cookies will be a greenish color (of course) if you use the butter, so your parents may question them, but they'll be straight.

Cannabanoids may absorb into the mixture in the baking process, but it's not going to be anywhere near the high you'll get off the butter method. We make about a batch a week, as we get the butter from our delivery guy. Cookies, brownies, garlic butter to dip lobster in, etc. etc. We have tried the other method numerous times, just to experiment with it, and it's shit.

Oh and you prob. want AT LEAST a half or even a full O if you want to make some decently potent cookies. Two cookies made with that butter will have you blazed for a very good amount of time. It's more of a body high than a mind high though. You may just end up falling asleep. Keep that in mind.

I am only speaking from personal preference here... not PREACHING!

I know what I felt, and by all means, it was waaaay better and easier just to throw the bud in with the mix.

Bah, not trying to preach, just throwing it out there for the OP.

I too have tried both methods and I would actually say they are both very similar strengths. However, if you just throw your shake in with a batch of cookes/brownies it will taste absolutely disgusting. Take the time to make butter it will taste 10x better and give you the same, if not a better high.

Grind up your bud, let it sit out a couple hours, and grind it again, and it should be so fine that it'll be just about as good as cannabutter. Unless of course your shit is sticky as balls, in which case repeat these steps three or fourfold.
