This orange gingerbread recipe is so delicious and you can make cookies or get real creative and make a gingerbread house!
Bake 300degrees F. 8-10 minutes
Time: 4-6 hours
Yields enough dough for one house about 5.25inch square or a couple dozen cookies of various shapes and sizes
*about half a teaspoon of cannabutter per approx. 2.5 to 3 inch cookies piece
1/4 cup cannabis infused butter, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
6-8 ounces white chocolate for decorating -or- 1 recipe royal icing
*Add a drop or two of your favorite terpene profile by True Terpenes to add flavor to the icing or chocolate. Citrus and spice notes in the terpene profile would compliment this cookie recipe well.
1/2 cup chocolate of choice for "gluing" house together (only need for house, not cookie shapes)
decorations- rice kripsie treats, sprinkles, gumdrops, marshmallows, graham crackers, cookies, licorice, toffee, candycanes, hard candy- whatever you want to decorate with (not needed for cookie shapes, only needed for house décor)
For more potency you can also decorate with cannabis infused candies and chocolates from the dispensaries or your own kitchen also! Infused hard candy would make great windows using the same concept as the stained glass window cookies and filling the empty window space with candy dust before baking.
Directions:
Cream butters and sugars. Add molasses, orange juice, zest and spices, mix. Combine flour and baking soda in separate bowl- add into wet ingredients. If mix seems too dry and crumbly, add a splash more orange juice or water. Once, combined and dough is smooth and slightly sticky, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for about 2 hours or overnight.
After, 2 hours, roll dough between around 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut house shapes (or cookies)- for house you need 2 square side walls, 2 end walls with peak, 2 rectangle roof panels. I made my own templates using a 5 1/4 inch square box to start. You can find templates all over the internet. I actually had enough dough to do all the wall/roof pieces and also a few accessory/details. *Cut your windows before baking!!! I made a door and a few "wood" planks to line my rice krispie deck with. :)
Bake the gingerbread at 300degrees F. for about 8-10 minutes- until done. Let cool completely before handling!!
Once, gingerbread is completely cooled you can begin decorating. I used chocolate to apply graham crackers to look like shutters and help the windows come to life. Do the window and door decorations while the gingerbread is flat on cookie sheets- let set completely before standing up. I used chocolate to stand and "glue" each panel together also. It sets faster than royal icing, so for the structural parts, I definitely recommend chocolate of your choice! For the snow- piping (or spreading) royal icing or white chocolate works great (powdered sugar works too). The "snow" should be the last step.
