Lemon bars
Shortbread base carrying the dose, sharp lemon curd on top. The infusion lives in the crust, which bakes gently, rather than in a custard that sets at a higher temperature.

Rub the infused butter into the flour, powdered sugar and salt until it looks like damp sand and holds together when squeezed.

Press firmly and evenly into the pan. All of the dose is in this layer, so an even base is an even bar.

Bake the base until pale gold at the edges.

Built on
Standard lemon bar: shortbread base of 1 cup flour to ½ cup fat and ¼ cup sugar, topped with a 4-egg lemon curd.
Every recipe here names the conventional ratio underneath it. The cannabis part is a fat substitution, not new chemistry — so if the base is sound and the substitution is sound, the recipe is sound.

Before you eat it
- These are estimates, not lab results. Treat the low end as the honest number and the high end as the thing to plan around.
- Start with one serving and wait two hours. Edibles take 30 to 120 minutes to come on, and the most common mistake is redosing before the first one lands.
- Test a small piece first. Potency is rarely even across a batch, especially if the infusion was not mixed thoroughly.
- Label anything you store with the date and the estimated dose, and keep it away from children, pets and anyone who did not ask for it.
- If you overdo it: you are not in danger, but it will be unpleasant. Find somewhere quiet, drink water, and wait it out. Do not drive.

Brown butter chocolate chip cookies
The standard creamed-butter drop cookie, with the butter browned first. Browning drives off water and deepens the flavor enough to cover any grassiness in the infusion.

Fudgy one-bowl brownies
A high-fat, low-flour brownie that bakes dense rather than cakey. The cocoa does most of the work of hiding the infusion.
