Space cookies, one of the most common edibles, include weed cookies containing cannabinoids. Here, you will find an easy way to bake them at home, as well as important tips and tricks to make them great. Let’s get started and bake the cookies into space which of course has elements of fun creativity as well as taste.
Key Takeaways
- Decarboxylation is the magic step that makes cannabinoids come alive and work as you want your cookies to do.
- Use your imagination by including things such as orange peel, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips.
- It should be gradual - begin with a small part and an inch into your mouth to savor what you’re doing and get the best part.
Why Decarboxylation Is Important?
Hemp needs to be activated through decarboxylation before it can go through the process of baking. These steps help guarantee that hemp provides the right impact it is supposed to.
To decarboxylate, the first step is to set your baking oven to about 105-120 degrees Celsius. Then, place crushed hemp in a baking tray with parchment paper. Then bake for 30-45 minutes continuously stirring the mixture with a spoon.
This step creates the base for making the hemp-infused butter which is an essential ingredient in this preparation.
Recipe: How to Make Space Cookies
Ingredients
- 8 g CBD flowers
- 175 ml milk
- 200 g sugar
- 225 g plain flour
- 2 eggs
- 225 g butter
- 2 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of salt
Optional add-ins: cocoa, vanilla extract, dried fruits, chocolates, or nuts.
Instructions
CBD-infused cookies can be prepared as follows, first, prepare the CBD butter. Warm butter in the microwave for about roughly half a minute to melt it, ensure the CBD is decarbed then mix it with the melted butter properly.
Second, to make the batter, mix the flour, sugar, milk, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Now put the CBD butter and eggs and beat until you get a smooth batter without lumps.
Temperature of the bake should be set to 190 degrees Celsius, ensuring the heat has had around 10 minutes to circulate throughout the oven and the baking tin should properly be greased or a piece of parchment should be fitted into the bottom of it.
Spoon the batter into the tin level and bake for 20-25 mins or until the toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
After baking let the cookies sit for about 15 minutes before you start eating them. Then, sprinkle them as desired with icing sugar, a citrus glaze, or different additions.
Common Mistakes to Avoid While Baking Space Cookies
As amazing as baking space cookies may sound, it is not rocket science indeed, but a few oversights can greatly affect their mass production. Here are some key mistakes to avoid:
Skipping Decarboxylation
By skipping this, the CBD will not activate in any way and hence greatly minimize the desired outcomes.
Incorrect Dosage
If you overdo it, the cookies will have too much of the herb and become very strong. If you are new, be sure to follow the prescribed amounts to avoid any nasty effects.
Uneven Mixing
CBD butter should be mixed well in the batter so that there aren’t overly dank areas.
Overbaking
In fact, dry and crumbly cookies can be obtained due to overbaking. Feel the oven’s timer now and then.

Space cookies are not very rigid and can easily be improved to suit a person’s taste and preference. For lovers of chocolate, adding cocoa powder and putting chocolate chips are perfect for making the cake to be chocolate-like.
For something more exotic, you may replace the water with cranberry juice, or blueberries or even add orange rind to the mixture. For a crunchy end, add crushed almonds, walnuts, or pecans to make interesting nutty edible products. For an added flavor, add cinnamon, nutmeg, or even chili powder to give the batter a completely different flavor. They are virtually limitless!
