Vegan Cookie Thins: Medicated with Platinum Banana Kush Cannabis Pulp

I never waste good plant medicine EVER. Many people don't know or realize that what's left over, after they make a cannabis infusion is still very potent. Often this cannabis pulp or sand (as I like to call it) still contains approximately 48% of the active medicinal compounds.

This is because in "home baking or in home infusing" we are only as efficient as the procedures, tools or the appliances that we are following or using. Even if every step is executed to perfection and all the conditions are spot on, home extracting is still not that efficient.

Lots of people, simply discard what is left over from their extraction process because they think the cannabis is spent or used up.

Please hear me loud and clear, if you throw this out, you are wasting almost half of the medicine that you have just spent a lot of time and resources to activate.

Do Not Waste Good Plant Material Or I Will Ground You and Take Away Your Bong Privileges.

Now that I have gotten that off my chest, let's make some cookies!

This recipe is vegan and I purposely have made them as "thins" as opposed to a thick chunky cookie. I find that being "thin" makes them more versatile. You can use them as part of other recipes where the cookie component is not the main attraction but complements a more elaborate dessert, for example.

To make these cookies, you'll need the following ingredients:

• 2 cups almonds (ground);
• 1 cup walnuts (ground);
• 1 cup desiccated unsweetened coconut (medium shred);
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds (ground);
• 1 tsp cinnamon (ground);
• 1/2 tsp baking powder;
• 1/4 tsp of Pink Himalayan salt;
• 3/4 cup of coconut oil (melted);
• 1/4 cup + 2 tsp of maple syrup;
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract;
• 3/4 cups of shaved dark chocolate;
• and 1/3 of a cup of Platinum Banana Kush cannabis pulp (or 1/3 cup of cannabis pulp from whatever strain you have on hand, at the time).

Directions:

        

• Grind the walnuts and almonds in a food processor.
• Add the coconut, sesame seeds, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
• Blend well.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

        

• Add the cannabis pulp (or omit entirely if you want a non-medicated vegan cookie that's thin).
• Blend well until the mixture is thoroughly combined. (I like to use a food processor for this job because it's easier to see when you have the cannabis pulp evenly dispersed through the dry ingredients. If you spend a little extra time making sure that the pulp is evenly mixed, you will end up with each cookie being equally medicated and you won't end up with some of your cookies being stronger than their batch mates. (Trust me on this folks, it can be a game of roulette cookie otherwise.)   

        

• Add the coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
• Blend well.
• Add the dark chocolate shavings and blend again.

    

• Roll the cookie dough into a ball shape.
• Flatten each cookie with the back of a fork.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes.
• Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and cool on a baking rack for 30 minutes before you handle them.

    

There you have it! A thin vegan cookie that is completely medicated and you'd never know...until about 2 hours later. 

This recipe makes 50 cookies and they freeze really well.

(Note: @knarly327 is a critical taste tester. He thought these cookies were extremely dangerous and he likes them a lot. )

Enjoy!
