Cannabis Leaf Cookie Cutters for Marijuana Gingerbread Cookies
This handy set off cookie cutter will help you make the festive Marijuana Gingerbread Cookies.
Besides cookies, use these handy cutters to cut out shapes from pie dough to top cannabis pies and other doughs. You can also use them to cut tea sandwiches. Use them as marijuana-shaped ring molds for salads and molded desserts. They are even handy to help decorate cakes (fill in the outline). If that's not enough you can even use the large cutter to make cannabis shaped fried eggs!

If you don't have marijuana leaf cookie cutters, no worries. You can also use any cookie cutters or even the bottom of a glass to cut out the cookies. BUT, besides being decorative, using the marijuana leaf cookies cutters takes away the possibility of folks saying they did not know the cookies were "spiked."
A note about the Dosing for Marijuana Gingerbread Cookies!
Each of the 36 cookies in this cannabis infused gingerbread cookie recipe will have about 15 mg THC, IF you made your marijuana butter from average cannabis (10% THC) and used 1/2 ounce of marijuana to make 1 cup butter.
To adjust the dosage up or down to meet your personal needs take my FREE 10 minute online Dosing Class that will teach you how to do it. This invaluable class takes into account the strength of the marijuana YOU are cooking with and the amounts you used to make YOUR butter. Better yet, use my handy dosage calculator tools that do all the math for you (see below).
