Cannabutter help

i want to make strong butter. Today I clarified butter and have 2 cups worth ( 4 sticks ) . I am using one oz top shelf buds. Is that considered strong or regular? I can add more . Lastly I'm suppose to add lecithin. I bought lecithin pills and it says 1,200mg. Is it alright to use this kind ?

After the decarboxylation process I use a half ounce of dry goods to two cups of ghee with one tablespoon of sunflower lecithin. These come out good. Strong for anyone that doesn't partake regularly. I have a feeling you are making some potent butter.
No idea about the lecithin pills though.

Those are going to be potent as fuck. Maybe too potent. The general rule of thumb is one stick of butter per 1/8th oz, is normal to low potency. 8 sticks of butter would be a little weak for the connoisseur. i would do maybe 5 1/2 sticks, because we all want some potent cannabutter, and a lot of brownies or whatever goodies you're making, right?
I think with the 4 sticks you won't be able to make enough, whatever your making.
All up to you though, man.
Different recipes call for different amounts of butter, so two cups may be enough. Hope this helps!

Wow that's gonna knock you out at that strength. I used an Oz once with 500g of butter and they were powerful enough. I've never heard of using them pills though? Any chance you could link the instructions you're following. I would like to see the reason for adding that ingredient. I've made butter quite a few times

Sure . Here is the recipe. I'm happy you say it will be strong. How much is 500 grams butter. ? In sticks

So did I buy the right lecithin

lecithin is lecithin there is no right one man.
you do realize that recipe calls for 7-14 grams for 2 cups of butter, which you want to be using 28 grams.
It's a little foolish to go that potent, there is no point. You can go really potent without overkilling it.

My last question is. Do I make a batch of cookies and freeze cookies I won't be eating in a few days or scale down the recipe to just what I need ? Do frozen cookies do the job ? Or am I wasting ?

Have you never made cookies before? They don't mold.

I'm not sure what your implying. A normal batch of cookies are eaten within a few days. In 3 days there usually gone or about to get nasty. Since they will be medicated cookies their are going to be eaten at a much slower rate. I assume to make a batch and and keep some cookie dough in the freezer until ready to use. I read that the butter is pretty stable .

Well cookies don't mold is my point, they just dry out over time. Keep them in a sealed container and you'll be fine. Unless you plan to not eat them for long stretches of time I'd just leave them on the counter. I can't believe you've never come across old cookies. I'm not trying to be rude, that's just surprising to me. People have cookie jars, old plates of cookies with hard ass cookies on em, you've never seen that?

I guess I have an eating problem. Cookies go quickly lol . I've seen nasty hard cookies though. I don't want mine getting nasty like that. Thanks for the reply.

Yah just keep them in a sealed container so they don't dry out. You can probably do something to keep them humid if they do dry out, but I don't want to tell you to put some damp paper towels or something like that in there as it could cause them to mold, I don't know. I'm sure the internet has some advice on cookie storage though.

Portion the dough out and freeze them. They last for months in the freezer and you can have fresh hot cookies in ten to twelve minutes without any worry of nasty hard cookies.

Putting a slice of bread on top of the cookies in the tub will prevent them from drying out

Same here, some cookies taste great when frozen. Especially nice crunchy sugar cookies 
You can also just freeze the butter if you don't use it all.
