so, making a few spiked xmas cookies for special friends.
i have never baked w the stuff, as edibles dont work well for me. but my new domestic partner is a big edibles maker. he isnt a baker, tho.
so, here's my question- he is making me a batch of laced butter. but i am wondering about the structure of the butter once it has been melted. i'm figuring i will have to get it nice and cold, and whip it, and maybe chill it again before i use it.
i am hoping it will then cream w the sugar, and have a good structure. usually using butter that is too soft/warm will result in a chewier cookie. but that is all wrong for this one cookie in particular.
so, any baking tips for me?

(18,921 posts)You will likely only need to use a small amt of the canna butter. I would make sure it is chilled first. Just cream the regular butter with the relatively small amt of canna butter - no special method ness. Be careful with the strength of the canna butter. Less is often better - you can always eat another cookie or two, but an overdose on edibles is a rather unpleasant experience.

It doesn't make a difference, but it takes longer to reset and you have to stir it real good to reincorporate the liquids into the solids.
If you want to get fancy, while it is soft put it in molds and freeze until it is hardened/frozen. Remove and refill. Store in the refrigerator or freezer so it keeps its shape.
Found a perfect one for your idea

(9,316 posts)bake your bud at 240 degrees for half hr or so to decarboxylate, spray with Ever Clear alcohol and let sit for 15 minutes, put into a crook pot (1/2 lb butter to about 30 grams pot) and cook on low in crock pot for about 6 hrs. When still warm, squeeze through a cheesecloth over a strainer, and then store in your freezer until use. You can use this to make one batch of 24- 30 cookies if you like your cookies strong or dilute it with butter. Just use as you would use regular butter in anything.
