Its not really a recipe, just some tips for baking with oil. Shit, a good 20 years ago, I was getting chronic bronchitis pretty bad from smoking my bong way too much, and whenever I did, I would bake brownies. One day I got sick of brownies and started with peanut butter cookies. Here's some tips:
They have the same peanut butter cookie mix in just about every grocery store in America. Its about $3. I think its Betty Crocker, if it matters. If you look on the back of the bag, you don't even need to read, it will show a picture of an egg, three tablespoons of oil, and a tablespoon of water, which are the only ingredients you need besides the weed.
Use 1/2 oz. of shake or cheap weed. If its not shake, get rid of the stems and grind it up. I've used a blender before.
The recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of oil. You are throwing in a half ounce of weed, though, so I use 4. The cookies don't get too oily and you need that extra tablespoon to cover the full 1/2 oz. of weed.
The smaller the frying pan the better. I use an 8". You can use bigger, but it thins out the oil. 8" is perfect.
You MUST have a candy thermometer. Get one at Target or at your grocery store. You have a very small window for temperature. 265-275 Fareinheit is the standard window. I get my oil right at 275. Its the magic number for me.
After my weed is ground, I heat up my 4 tbsp. (2 oz.) vegetable oil on a low flame and rest the tip of the candy thermometer in the oil. DON'T LET THE THERMOMETER TOUCH THE PAN. This can be tricky. All candy thermometers come with a clip. I hook the clip to a handle on a sauce pan so that the thermometer dangles above my frying pan with the oil. I adjust it so the tip just touches the oil. Recheck the temp every five minutes until it is steady at 275. You have to be patient. A half ounce of weed hangs in the balance. Once I am absolutely, positively, convinced the oil is steady at 275, I slowly add the weed. . . .
It should sizzle, but not smoke. It will appear as if there is not enough oil to handle the full 1/2 oz. Just drop it all in, then stir it around every now and then for the next 30 minutes. The weed will fully absorb ALL the oil. You won't see a drop. Don't panic. At 275, it won't burn.
After 30 minutes, let the weed cool down, then mix EVERYTHING (the pot IS your oil now) with the batter, egg and water. DO NOT strain the weed with cheesecloth. The peanut butter neutralizes most of the weed taste, its worth keeping it in.
If you use a larger frying pan, you can just mix everything in the pan once the weed cools down.
Keep dividing the batter into halves until you have 16 cookie balls of dough. That's almost 1g per cookie. They are medium-sized cookies, and most people will get incredibly super high off just 1/2 cookie.
I put my oven at 350 and bake them in two batches of 8 on a cookie sheet. Takes about 11 minutes per batch, but I'm paranoid about burning them, so I usually check them early and due to heat loss from paranoia, mine wind up taking about 15 minutes per batch.
I just made a batch this week, my first since moving to California. For the life of me, I couldn't remember if the ideal temp was 275 or 375. It was really difficult finding any good tips about temp, etc., and my batch came out so strong, I had to share.
I have a very high tolerance. So I was about to eat my third cookie that afternoon when my friend, who has a low tolerance, was curious. I broke the cookie in half, gave him the smaller half, and warned him they were strong. He later told me the only time he got off his couch that night was to puke, he was so fucked up. Peace.
Edit: After eating, the rule of thumb for me has always been: 45 minutes until you first fully notice effects, peak at 90 minutes, hits in waves.
