Ingredients
- 225 g plain flour
- 150 g butter total: use 50 g cannabis-infused + 100 g regular unsalted
- 75 g caster sugar
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional: vanilla bean paste, lemon zest, or lavender
- Optional: sugar for dusting or melted chocolate for drizzle
Equipment
- Mixing bowl or stand mixer
- Silicone spatula
- Baking tray lined with parchment
- Rolling pin or cookie cutter (or just press and score)
- Cooling rack
Method
- Cream the Butters
Mix the infused butter and regular butter together until soft. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. - Bring in the Dry
Sift in the flour and salt. Mix gently until it forms a soft dough. Don’t overwork it — we want crumbly, not chewy. - Chill and Shape
Wrap the dough and chill it for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 160°C (fan). Roll out or press into a tin. Cut into fingers or rounds. - Bake
Place on a parchment-lined tray and bake for 15–20 minutes. You want them pale, not browned. They should lookunderbaked — that’s shortbread. - Cool and Decorate
Let cool fully before dusting with sugar or drizzling with chocolate. Handle gently — they’ll be fragile when warm.
Follow this buttery cannabis shortbread recipe exactly, and you’ll get crisp edges, a tender crumb, and the ideal balance of sweet and savoury.
