These Pot Peppermint Meltaways Are Amazing

There’s really nothing wrong with the standard cookie. They’re delicious, classic, and always there when you need a sweet snack to munch on. But, as great as they are, they don’t always leave you with the best breath, nor is it their intention to do so. However, what if I told you I knew of a recipe for cookies that’ll not only leave you with a refreshed essence on your taste buds, but it’ll get you high in the process of cleansing your breath? Sounds pretty dang good, right? Well, that’s exactly what these Pot Peppermint Meltaways are designed to do.

Now, before I get into the brief breakdown of how to make Pot Peppermint Meltaways, we’ll need to raid your pantry and/or hit up the local grocery store to ensure that you have all the necessary elements required to adequately pull off this recipe.

Since there are two separate elements to this recipe, I went ahead and divided the ingredients, to hopefully make it even easier to follow.

So, for the cookies, themselves, you will need:

Ingredients

So, for the cookies, themselves, you will need:

1 Cup of Cannabis-Infused Butter Softened
½ Cup of Confectioners’ Sugar
½ Cup of Cornstarch
1 ¼ Cups of All-Purpose Flour
½ Teaspoon of Peppermint Extract

And, for the decadent frosting, you will need:

2 Tablespoons of Cannabis-Infused Butter Softened
2 Tablespoons of Milk 2%
¼ Teaspoon of Peppermint Extract
3 Drops of Red Food Coloring
1 ½ Cups of Confectioners’ Sugar
½ Cup of Peppermint Candies Crushed

Instructions

Cookie Dough Instructions

Now, grab a small bowl for mixing the cookie dough, and in it, cream together your confectioners’ sugar and cannabis-infused butter. Keep that motion going until the contents take on a more fluffy, almost airy consistency.
When they hit that desired consistency, you can then beat in your extract.
Following that, grab a completely different bowl for mixing. In this one, whisk together your cornstarch and flour. After you’ve adequately combined those dry ingredients together, add them to your cream mixture that you just made in the other bowl.
Then, when those elements are expertly combined with one another, you can cover it up with some cellophane, and toss it in the fridge for half an hour. You’ll know it’s ready when it becomes tough and firm enough to handle with your hands.
You will then want to preheat your oven. This time, set it for 350°.
As your oven warms up, grab that dough, and start to shape it into little 1” spheres, which you will then place onto baking sheets, roughly 2” apart from one another.
When your oven reaches that desired temperature, you can toss these dough balls inside, and let them cook for about 10 minutes or so. You will know they are good to go when the bottoms start to brown up a bit. And, when that happens, simply remove them from the oven, and let them cool on a wire rack for the time being.

Frosting Instructions

Now, in a somewhat small bowl for mixing, beat the cannabis-infused butter you set aside for your frosting. Once you’ve beat that down, add in your milk, food coloring, and extract, beating all of those elements in, too. Followed by the addition of your confectioners’ sugar. And, yes, you should beat that element in, as well.
At this point, your cookies should have cooled down substantially. If so, spread this frosting on top of each one, making sure to evenly distribute the potent topping throughout the batch.
Top everything off with a smattering of crushed peppermint candies, and boom, that’s it!

Notes

That’s how you make Pot Peppermint Meltaways that are guaranteed to impress your friends.
