You will need:

2 ½” round or large cannabis leaf shaped cookie cutter

1” round or small cannabis leaf shaped cookie cutter

Ingredients:

½ cup unsalted grass fed butter, softened

4 Tablespoons Jeff’s Light Tasting Cannabutter (visit Jeffthe420Chef.com for recipe)

½ cup raw cane sugar

1 egg yolk

Zest of ½ lemon

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon almond extract

1 cup All-Purpose flour

¾ cup finely ground almonds

pinch of salt

Raspberry or Strawberry jam (I like to use a cannabis infused jam like “Flower Child” to kick it up a notch)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 340ºF
Cream butter, cannabutter, sugar, egg yolk, almond and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, ground almonds, and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and combine.
Add lemon zest and fold into dough.
Divide the dough into 2 discs and wrap each in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (can be refrigerated up to 3 days).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough until ¼” thick.
Using a 2 ½” round or cannabis leaf shaped cookie cutter, cut out 24 cookie bottoms and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Chill cookie bottoms in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
While chilling, roll out the second disc to ¼” thick and cut out Cookie tops using the same cookie cutter.
Now create your “peekaboo top” cooking by taking the small cookie cutter and making a cutout in the center of each top cookie.
Bake 7-9 minutes or until very lightly browned. Let cook for about 10 minutes.
Place ½ teaspoon of jam on the bottom half of each cookie and cover with the top cookie.
Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar and voilà!
