How to make the perfect cannabis oatmeal cookies ?

A VERY brief history of oatmeal cookies

Everyone wonders: where did oatmeal biscuits come from? What genius mind invented them?

The history of oatmeal biscuits is a long one, as their original origins date back to prehistoric times.

Scientists recently discovered fossils of oatmeal biscuits carefully preserved in Neanderthal tombs – strong evidence that our earliest ancestors valued oatmeal biscuits!

(Okay, okay, we made that up completely. But it would be pretty funny and awesome if it were true).

But all joking aside, oatcakes do have an ancestor: the traditional Scottish oatcake from the Middle Ages.

The Scottish oatcake contained similar ingredients, but was much crunchier than the modern oatcake.

However, it is impossible to say for sure who actually invented the modern oatcake.

However, Fannie Merritt Farmer published the first recorded recipe for oatmeal biscuits in her 1896 Boston Cooking-School Cook Book.

The original recipe did not include sultanas, but people started adding them, mainly because the Quaker Oats company started listing the recipe for oatmeal sultana biscuits on their packages in 1900.

An Even Briefer History of National Oatmeal Cookie Day

Honestly, no one knows who invented this holiday, but if you know who did, please let us know!

In the meantime, we have an interesting piece of information for you: there are actually two oatmeal biscuit holidays.

March 18 is National Oatmeal Cookie Day (oatmeal biscuits are thin oatmeal biscuits traditionally served with ice cream or sorbet).

And then there’s the regular National Oatmeal Cookie Day, celebrated on 30 April.

Had enough of the history? Are you ready to get down to business?

All right! Let’s bake some damn biscuits!

Wait a minute.

One more thing…

One more quick note about wire racks.
Most recipes recommend letting the freshly baked biscuits cool on a wire rack.

If you’re already an experienced baker and don’t need an explanation as to why you should cool the biscuits on a wire rack and not just on the countertop, you can skip this part.

But for all of you baking novices, here’s what you need to do:

If you take the biscuits out of the oven and leave them on the baking sheet, they will continue to bake because the baking sheet is still hot.

Your biscuits will be overbaked, which of course affects their taste and texture.

On the cooling rack, the air can circulate under the biscuits, so they cool much faster.

However, if you don’t have a cooling rack, you can remove the biscuits from the baking tray and place them on a paper towel on the worktop.

The biscuits won’t cool as quickly as they would on a cooling rack, but at least they won’t be burnt.

Okay, NOW we’re going to bake biscuits!

sigh

I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

One more thing. We promise.

One last quick note about the cannabutter dosage.
Cannabutter is used in the following recipes.

You can, of course, make these biscuits without cannabutter.

But it is the cannabutter that turns your regular biscuits into cannabutter biscuits.

Okay… NOW, for the love of Mary Jane, let’s make some damn biscuits!

Easy Hemp Oatmeal Cookies
Hemp Oatmeal Cookies (adapted from Cannadish).

What you need

• 1/4 cup hemp butter
• 2 cups packed dark brown sugar
• 2 sticks of softened butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups regular flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 cups rolled oats

Howto prepare

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Using a food processor or hand mixer, beat brown sugar and butter until nice and fluffy. Then stir in the vanilla. Then gradually beat in one egg at a time.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. In two to three batches, add the cream mixture, stirring each batch until combined.
• Using a biscuit scoop or regular spoon, scoop portions of the batter onto the baking sheet. Leave a couple of inches of space between each biscuit. Bake for 12-13 minutes until dark and crisp. If you want crispier biscuits (like oatcakes!), bake them longer.
• Remove the biscuits from the oven and leave them to cool on the baking tray. Then transfer to a plate and serve!

Frozen hemp biscuits with oat sultanas
What you need

• 1/4 cup hemp butter
• 2 sticks of soft butter
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups regular flour
• 2 cups instant oatmeal
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup sultanas
• 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

ICE COLD

• 5 cups of powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup of butter, melted (or you can use another 1/4 cup of cannabutter here to increase the dose…OR you can leave the cannabutter OUT of the main mix and just put it in the frosting)
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup of 2% milk

How to Make Them

• Beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time.
• In another bowl, mix the remaining ingredients (minus the frosting ingredients), and gradually beat all of that into the creamed mixture. Add in raisins and the pecans if you got ‘em
• Split the dough in half. Shape each half into a disk, cover it, and refrigerate it for about 1 hour, or until it is firm enough to roll.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of the dough so that it’s 1/4-inch thick. Cut with a floured 2-3/4 in. round cookie cutter.
• Place each cookie 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Place them in the oven and let them bake until they turn light brown. This should take 7-9 minutes.
• Remove the sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for 2 minutes. Then place the cookies on a wire rack to finish cooling.

For frosting, beat the powdered sugar, butter, and milk together until it reaches the consistency of frosting. Spread on cookies and enjoy.
