Verima’s Ultimate Chocolate Chip CBD Cookies
With the recent legalization of cannabidiol, or CBD, in all 50 states, people everywhere are finding unique ways to ingest this miracle plant to reap its incredible health benefits. CBD oil, which is non-psychoactive and does not make you “high”, provides many different medicinal benefits and is free of side effects. CBD oil provides relief from pain, anxiety, and depression without the mind-altering side effects of marijuana or some pharmaceutical drugs. It can lower blood pressure, calm symptoms of anxiety, increase focus and concentration, and balance moods.
Many people are turning to CBD-infused foods, such as gummies and other edibles, as well as baked goods. CBD is an easy ingredient to include in your regular baked goods, adding an extra dose of health benefits to your recipes.
It is important to note that when baking with CBD oil, the oil needs extracted into a fat, such as coconut oil. Using Verima’s organic CBD tincture, add a suitable dose of CBD oil to a coconut oil base, and you are ready to bake! How much you use depends on what dose you want in each baked item. For example, if you are baking a dozen cookies, you will need to add 12 doses of CBD oil to the recipe, in order for it to be effective.
