How to make Russian Tea Cakes: recipe for edibles
Russian Tea Cake Ingredients
This recipe for weed edibles can use different ratios of cannabutter to regular butter, allowing you to control the dosage of each edible, as does the size of each tea cake you roll.
2 sticks (1 cup) of butter, softened at room temperature. Use a portion of cannabutter and a portion of regular butter depending on desired potency. See section below on THC dosage to determine how much cannabutter you should use. Make sure to fully soften it at room temperature for easiest mixing.
1/2 cup powdered 10x confectioners sugar
2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose white flour (don’t use self-rising flour)
3/4 cup finely chopped almonds or walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Approximately 2 cups of additional powdered sugar for dipping finished cookies
How to make Russian Tea Cake edibles
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix 2 sticks butter/cannabutter mixture, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Use electric mixers at medium speed.
Slowly stir in flour, nuts, and salt and mix until it forms a smooth dough that can hold itself together.
Form tiny balls and place on cookie sheet. Depending on the size, you should have about 25-30 cookies per batch. Make sure to use a cookie sheet and not a brownie pan with sides, as this would impact cooking times.
Bake 9-10 minutes on center rack in oven. Do not overcook, they should not brown. Overcooking will dry them out quickly.
Because the cannabutter already contains decarboxylated THC that can be processed by your liver, these weed edibles cook in the oven for 9-10 minutes.
Place on cooling rack for 5 minutes. The cookies will become easier to handle and firmer as they cool.
Dip each cookie in 2 cups of powdered sugar spread in a wide bowl. Roll each cookie gently to completely cover, and place back on cooling rack.
Wait 5 minutes and repeat rolling cookies in sugar. Repeat again, so each cookie is rolled three times total to form a glaze.
Enjoy you edibles! See dosage information below.
After your cookies have cooled on a wire rack for 5 minutes you’re ready to roll them in powdered sugar.
How to determine the THC content of this Russian Tea Cakes edibles recipe
This marijuana snowball cookies recipe can easily be modified to allow for various levels of THC per cookie. Since your rolled cookie balls may vary in size, you’ll need to do some quick math to determine your total THC consumption per tea cake. Just determine the total THC in the cannabutter recipe you used, and divide this total by the number of tea cake cookies you rolled.
For example, if you have used cannabutter with 1000 MG of total THC and you made 25 cookies, each would come in at approximately 40 mg per cookie. If you roll 40 cookies, they’d each be about 33 mg THC. 33-40 mg is a great medium strength amount for users with average tolerance. Multiple cookies can be eater for users seeking higher dosages.
To adjust THC content, plan to use a mix of cannabutter and regular butter to get to the desired total strength in your batch. If each stick or half cup serving of your cannabutter has 1000 mg THC, you would pair this with one cup of regular butter. If you wanted weaker cookies, the just use one quarter cup (equivalent of half a stick) of this cannabutter and 1.5 sticks of normal butter to give you a total THC content of 500 mg. If you rolled 25 cookies in a batch with 500 mg total THC, each Russian tea cookie would have a strength of 20 mg THC.
