Embracing the Fall Season: A Time for Warm Flavors, Cozy Vibes, and Infused Treats
As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin their colorful dance to the ground, we find ourselves embracing the warmth and comfort that autumn brings. Fall is a season that invites you to slow down, wrap yourself in your favorite blanket, and indulge in all things cozy. Whether it’s the joy of sipping a warm beverage, the earthy smell of fallen leaves, or the promise of pumpkin-flavored everything, fall is undeniably a time to celebrate.
This time of year isn’t just about cooler weather and shorter days. It’s about the rituals and comforts that come with it—the scents of cinnamon and cloves, the fun of pumpkin patches, and of course, the food! One of the most iconic fall flavors is pumpkin spice, a blend that brings together the best of autumn’s warm, spicy notes. From lattes to baked goods, pumpkin spice has become synonymous with the fall season.
Baking: A Perfect Fall Activity
One of the best ways to embrace the season is by filling your home with the smell of freshly baked cookies. Fall baking isn’t just a delicious hobby—it’s an opportunity to create memories with loved ones. Whether you’re baking with friends or indulging in a solo afternoon of kitchen therapy, the smell of pumpkin spice cookies wafting through your home is the perfect way to welcome the season.
And what better way to make those moments even more special than by infusing your favorite treats with a little extra relaxation? That’s right—RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) can take your fall baking to the next level. For those who enjoy both cannabis and fall flavors, we’ve got the perfect recipe to combine the two.
So, let’s get cozy, roll up our sleeves, and bake some Pumpkin Spice Cookies with a special infused twist!
RSO-Infused Pumpkin Spice Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup RSO-infused butter (see instructions below)
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats (optional)
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
For the Glaze (optional):
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk (more if needed)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of cinnamon or pumpkin spice for topping
Infusing the Butter with RSO:
Dosage: Decide on your desired potency. If using a full syringe of RSO (500 mg THC), divide your dough into 24 cookies for a dosage of approximately 20 mg per cookie.
Infuse the Butter: Mix your softened butter with your RSO until well blended. Set aside for use in the cookie dough.
Instructions for Cookies:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Infused Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the RSO-infused butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until combined. Fold in oats and nuts if desired.
Scoop and Bake: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional Glaze:
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon or pumpkin spice for extra flavor.
These infused Pumpkin Spice Cookies are more than just delicious—they’re the perfect way to relax and enjoy the fall season. The warmth of the spices, the rich flavor of pumpkin, and the soothing effects of RSO come together to create an experience that embodies the spirit of autumn.
Whether you’re enjoying these cookies with a hot cup of tea, or sharing them with friends during a cozy fall evening, you’ll be bringing the flavors of the season to life with a little cannabis twist. Don’t forget to pace yourself and enjoy responsibly, especially if you’re new to edibles!
