Last time I made cookies I threw a half ounce of grass and 2 sticks of butter in a crock pot, turned it on low setting for over 12 hours. I didn’t decarb my weed in the oven first and the cookies came out fine. My recipe is good af (what people say) if anyone want it HMU. Or maybe I’ll add it on here later if I remember (probably not)
Crockpots eventually decarb, just not very well, because as they decarb, they also destroy thc.
Here's a much more potent recipe, based on BrassNwood's method, that is very popular on the Grass City forums:
This will make a batch of 30 cookies of about 40 mg thc each:
(1) Decarb 7.5 g herb @ 240 F for 40 min. This is crucial, so use a verifying thermometer.
(2) Grind to fine powder.
(3) Combine herb, 3 to 7 g lecithin liquid (exact amount immaterial), and the recipe oil (which can be any amount) into a heatable/freezable container.
(4) Quickly pre-heat mixture to 220 F on a stove top, then bake at that temp for 20 min.
(5) Freeze the mixture for a couple hours or so, then thaw.
This method leaves out the BrassNwood's second heating, which is assumed to be done during the cookie baking process. Otherwise it's pretty much the same.
Whole herb does bother some stomachs, but using it is much more potent than using strained oils.
Depending on cookie size there might be slight herb taste.
A quicker edible can be made using nut butter or nutella to create "firecracker spread," but it might not taste very good:
(1) Decarb any amount of herb , even 1/2 gram, @ 240 F for 40 min.
(2) Grind to fine powder.
(3) Combine the herb, roughly an equal amount of lecithin, and at least 16 grams nutella/nut butter for each gram herb used, in a heatable/freezable container.
(4) Quickly pre-heat mixture to 220 F on a stove top, then bake at that temp for 20 min.
(5) Freeze the mixture for a couple hours or so, then thaw.
(6) Pre-heat and bake again @ 220 F for 20 min.
If cannacaps are wanted instead, a similar procedure can be used with any oil. I prefer oils that are liquid at room temp. Any multiple or fraction of the recipe will work.
(1) Decarb 7 g herb @ 240 F for 40 min.
(2) Grind to fine powder.
(3) Combine herb, 7 g lecithin liquid, and 30 g oil into a heatable/freezable container.
(4) Quickly pre-heat mixture to 220 F, then bake at that temp for 20 min.
(5) Freeze the mixture for a couple hours or so, then thaw.
(6) Repeat step (4). This mixture will fill 56 size 00 capsules with a bit less than 20 mg thc each.
I sometimes use a food dehydrator and this method to make small batches of same day as harvest edibles to check on potency.
The bottom line is that after an accurate decarb (I use Ardent Nova/Lift), the herb is as potent as it will ever be, but it won't be very digestible, so it's less effective than it could be.
The lecithin, heating(s), and freezing are intended to make it more digestible without degrading much thc.
Each gram of good 15% thc herb used will supply about 150 mg thc to the finished product.
