Cookie Recipe for Oil - and easy how-to make Oil

-First, the oil:

I used a half ounce of bud, which will allow one cookie to get most people really stoned, and two cookies to get the rest of us stoned. That was for 2 cups of oil.

The first thing you gotta do is grind the hell out of your product. Throw 'em in a blender, coffee grinder, or use a normal grinder for the bud, whatever you got.

Next, just pour the two cups of oil - I used Canola oil - into a small pot on your stove. Put your stove on a very, very low heat, and dump all your finely cut product in the pot with the oil.

Stir often for an hour and a half, and then just sift it through a cheesecloth or other like device to prevent your small bud particles from getting into the oil.

What you should have left is about 1 & 1/2 cups of greenish oil.

-- Now, for the cookies:

You'll need:
1 & 1/2 cups of Canna-oil.
1/2 cup of butter.
2 & 1/2 cups of bread flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
1 & 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons of milk
1 & 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 375.
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom med. saucepan over low heat.
Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda & set aside.

Pour the melted butter in the mixer's work bowl.
Add the sugar and brown sugar.
Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed.
Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons of milk , and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined.
Stir in chocolate chips.

Chill the dough, and then scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Six cookies per sheet. Bake for 14 min or until golden brown.

Enjoy!

you should not lose oil in the cooking process. ex. recipie calls for 1 1/4 cups of oil that's how much should be used, no more than a HAIR more than the reccomended amount. cooking the oil for that long is completely not needed. the oil should be cooked just below a simmer, a bubble or two but NO smoke, stirring every 5-7 minutes. cooking on extreme low heat does not do as good a job of extraction, if you see smoke you are burning (wasting) oil. after 30-40 minutes the oil should be strained back into a glass measuring cup, (this is the most important part of the whole process) through a fine metal mesh strainer with a bent spoon with a TON of elbow grease. i like to use a little bacardi 151 on the end goop just to help separate the rest of the oil and for flavor, about a tablespoon or so. the idea is to have an IDENTICAL amount of oil as you started with and a fairly dry bit of plant matter left over. if you are losing oil you are losing potency. the oil should now be DARK BROWN like black coffee. the idea is to condense as large an amount of psychoactives with as small an amount of oil as possible. to take that same half oz and infuse it into a smaller portion of oil makes that oil much more potent. and as always, cool your oil before use or you will cook your eggs. i'm sure your recipie is delicious, but your oil extraction method seems very inefficiant.

the real question here is what is the most effective duration for extraction . . . .

and this will vary a lot because people aren't using the same crocks with the same temp, or some are using stove-tops, etc.

I hear ya. I definitely never burn any of my oil out. It gets soaked up a bit by the grounded bud and lessens during the transfer process. I agree that it's ideal to keep it all. I just don't worry about it. As far as temperature goes, as long as you don't burn it too hot, you'll slowly extract it out. I say to keep it very low and go for longer because it's easier. You can heat it up (but not boil) for 45 minutes and be good too.

Anyhow, good lookin' out. The cookies are delicious too

i have found that when i go for longer at a lower temperature, besides losing more oil, the color of the oil is less than impressive. i find it's best to find that "magic temp" where its bubbling just a bit but not burning. this is extremely tricky on an electric range. i have the luxury of a gas range so the temp is cake to control. i did this once at a friend's house with an electric range and the results were not as great, but i'm sure it could be dialed in with some trial and error. as small of a pan as possible helps also, like a small frying pan so the oil spreads out less and takes longer to burn away. if you can see through the oil at the end you have more extracting to do.

there must be some chemistry out there that has an equation for something like this . . . where we could figure out the most ideal time and temperature for most efficient extraction . . .

Well, I know the max temp isn't too hard to find. I forget what it is, but you could probably google it in two seconds. I've seen people's times range from 15minutes to like 8 hours also. I go with 1.5 because it seems long enough to me, but yeah, would definitely be nice to know an exact time that gets the most out of your product.

max temp for cooking? I highly doubt you can find that. if you could realyl find the temp at which THC turns into CBN I'd really be happy.

"Specifically, since Delta 9 THC vaporizes at 157 degrees centigrade and CBD vaporizes at 188 degrees centigrade, this difference can be used to separate these components."

Found that first try

yeah you found that information but that is completely irrelevant to what I'm talking about.

I'm talking the temperature in which THC converts to CBN . . .

Cannabinol
Main article: Cannabinol
Cannabinol (CBN) is the primary product of THC degradation, and there is usually little of it in a fresh plant. CBN content increases as THC degrades in storage, and with exposure to light and air. It is only mildly psychoactive. Its affinity to the CB2 receptor is higher than for the CB1 receptor.[11]


It doesn't mention heat, so I dunno.


And just cause I found this too:
When one considers that there are at least 60 pharmacologically-active compounds in cannabis and that the aromatic terpenoids begin to vaporize at 126°C, but the more bio-active cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabinol (CBN), and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) do not vaporize until near their respective flash points: CBD 206.3°C,[6] CBN 212.7°C,[7] THC 149.3°C[8

guess I'm left with what I had before, guesses.

it's all good man, like I said, the science isn't there yet, kinda sucks but it's true.
