Makes

  • 50 olives with total THC of 14.42 mg or .29 mg/olive or 1.45 mg per 5 olives
  • If yours is a party of one or two, you can freeze any leftover infused dough for your next party.

Equipment

  • Rolling pin
  • Cookie sheet

Ingredients

  • 7.5 TBSP (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ TBSP fumé-infused cannabutter
  • 8 OUNCES (2 CUPS)  grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 ½ CUPS unsifted all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ TSP kosher salt
  • ¼ TSP ground cayenne
  • Dash of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 50 small pimento-stuffed cocktail olives, drained and patted dry

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F. 
  • Beat the butter and cannabutter until creamy in a large mixing bowl, add the cheese and mix well. 
  • Stir in the flour, salt, cayenne, and Worcestershire and mix until smooth. 
  • Beat the egg with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Add to the dough and mix just until incorporated. 
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the dough and flatten out a piece about the size of a walnut into a thin round. Place an olive on top and shape it around the olive, pinching to repair any breaks. 
  • Place it on an ungreased cookie sheet. 
  • Repeat with the remaining dough and olives. 
  • Bake until the dough sets, about 15 minutes. 
  • Serve hot.
