As we leave winter behind, things are starting to green up. St. Patrick’s Day is upon us to boot, so cooking/smoking of the green is how we’ll roll with this batch of tasty sugar cookies topped with infused frosting.
You can buy sugar cookie dough in the refrigerated section of your supermarket, or make up a batch using the recipe we have included here. But really, we are all about the frosting. It’s green, not with food coloring but rather with matcha powder.
with quite a history. . Matcha can be a bit strong for some folks, and a little goes a long way. I was not a fan at first, yet I now love its complex flavor; kind of like my relationship with miso soup.
These cookies are a great way to avoid drinking beer all day and would be perfect for tea time. The cannabutter I used for this frosting was made with the sativa strain . Nice uplifting weed with a lemony smell and taste. I am working on a cookbook and I was focused and quite productive. And everything I wrote actually made sense, which was a wonderful surprise!

If you want to make your cookies from scratch, this is a terrific sugar cookie. Replace some of the regular butter with softened cannabutter if you are so inclined. I am so inclined.

- 2¾ cups flour

2. Add the egg, mix and then add the remaining ingredients until fully combined. Chill for at least an hour.
