The dose, worked

8 tbsp low-dose cannabutter × 9.87 mg per tbsp = 78.9 mg THC (theoretical) ÷ 24 portions = 3.29 mg per cookie.

Theoretical maximum: it assumes complete decarboxylation (THCA × 0.877) and that every milligram ends up in the food. Real yield is usually lower, which is why you start with one portion and wait. Re-run the maths for your flower →

Dosing notes

If you scoop 12 big cookies instead, each is double the dose. Count and re-label.

Can I freeze the dough?

Yes. Freeze the scooped balls, bake from frozen for 2 extra minutes, and the dose per cookie is unchanged.
