Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Edibles Recipe

It’s a classic and old favorite that never goes out of style. Your rumbling tummy will thank you for these delightful desserts. Plus, they’re easy to make and, boy, do they hit the spot!

Thanks to this homemade recipe, you can liven up the holidays while crushing your munchies at the same time. So, how do you go about created these sweet treats? It’s simple!

First, let’s take a look at the ingredients that you’ll need. You’ll likely have to make a store run, so take a screenshot or jot down the following:

Ingredients for cinnamon sugar cookie edibles

• 3 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• ¾ cup of granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon of kosher salt
• ¼ cup of cinnamon sugar
• 1 cup of unsalted butter
• 1 egg

While you’re at the store, be sure to pick up some Christmas-friendly cookie-cutter shapes, as you’ll need these if you want to add some holiday character to your cinnamon sugar cookies. If you don’t have a rolling pin, you’ll need one, as well.

We prefer to use wax paper to line our cookie sheets, so be sure to pick some up while you’re collecting all of your ingredients.

How to make cinnamon sugar cookie edibles

Once you have everything you need, begin by lining your cookie sheets with wax cooking paper. Make sure you set your oven to 350°F ahead of time so that it’s ready to bake when you get your cookie dough complete.

Pour the following ingredients into a medium-sized bowl:

• Baking powder
• Flour
• Salt 

You can set the bowl aside for the time being. In another bowl, you’ll want to mix together the butter, cinnamon, and sugar using an electric mixer. Crack that egg open and add it to the contents, followed by the contents from the medium bowl that you set aside.

Pour slowly as you continue to mix together all of the ingredients. Once everything is a cohesive collection of cookie goodness, plop it onto your clean counter or another flat surface. With your rolling pin and some flour, rub-down the pin so that it is covered in all-purpose flour.

Now, begin rolling the dough until it is flattened to around ¼-inch thick. You’re likely to have some dough crumbs, so just scoop these up into a ball. You can pitch it or make another cookie out of it. 

Grab your cookie-cutter shapes and go to town. Once you have enough holiday-ready cookies, place them on your wax paper-lined cookie sheet and stick it in the freezer for about five minutes. This is done to prevent the dough from losing its shape. 

Finally, slide the cookie sheet into the oven and allow the cookies to bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Twelve minutes seems to be the sweet spot, but your results may vary. 

Just keep an eye on them until they are lightly golden-brown. When ready, take them out and allow them to cool for a few minutes. We like to add vanilla icing to our cinnamon sugar cookies, but you can use sprinkles, too. 

Or, just serve them as they are. They’re delicious either way!

Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet to have ready for your ingredients. Now it’s time to melt your crushed chocolate. There are different ways to go about this, but we prefer to do the following: Grab a durable bowl that is resistant to heat and place your chocolate in it.

Over at the stove, bring a small pot of water to a low boil. Next, place your bowl on top of the pot of water until all of the chocolate is melted. Once complete, set the bowl to the side and add in your peppermint extract.

You want to slowly stir the chocolate and extract together. Once it is thoroughly mixed, pour the contents onto your parchment paper-lined baking sheet. You will likely need to use a spatula to even it all out. Make sure it is flat and wide.

Sprinkle your crushed candy canes onto the chocolate mixture until it is completely covered. Now, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes or until it is frozen. 

Finally, take it out and break it all up into bite-sized pieces. It’s quick, easy, and makes a perfect snack for injecting some holiday cheer into your home.

How to make cannabis-infused eggnog

Start by mixing together the following ingredients in a saucepan:

• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract

You want to heat this on the stove for about five minutes or until it comes to a slow boil. Now, take a large bowl and pour in the 12 egg yolks and 1 ½ cups of sugar. Keep stirring until it is rich and fluffy. 

Slowly add in the mixture of milk and keep stirring. When thoroughly mixed together, pour the contents back into the saucepan. Heat on medium and keep stirring, but do not let it boil. 

Pour the contents through a strainer to get rid of the cloves and then allow it to cool for about an hour. Now you’re ready to add in the final items:

• ½ teaspoons of ground nutmeg
