A citrusy, spiced treat that blends Ayurvedic wisdom with cannabis-infused calm for a deeply nourishing dessert experience.

Lemon Cardamom Sugar Cookies are a bright and elegant twist on the classic sugar cookie—crisp on the edges, tender in the center, and infused with healing botanicals. This recipe brings together the digestive and mood-balancing benefits of cardamom, the uplifting zing of lemon zest, and the grounding, anti-inflammatory richness of Veda Warrior’s infused ghee butter. From an Ayurvedic perspective, these cookies support agni (digestive fire), soothe the nervous system, and bring lightness to the mind—especially helpful during seasonal transitions or times of emotional stress. With 5mg of THC per cookie, they offer a gentle, balanced dose for both body and spirit.

Healing Benefits of Each Ingredient

• Veda Warrior Infused Ghee Butter: In Ayurveda, ghee is considered a deeply nourishing fat that supports digestion, immunity, and cognitive clarity. Infused with THC, it also offers gentle pain relief and stress reduction.

• Cardamom: A warming spice known to aid digestion, calm the stomach, and support respiratory function.

• Lemon Zest: Stimulates the liver and digestive system, uplifts mood, and helps clear mental fog.

• Butter: Provides grounding energy and is easily metabolized when consumed in moderation.

• Sugar: In small amounts, sugar can pacify Vata dosha, which governs movement and the nervous system.

• Flour: The carbohydrates in flour help anchor the effects of cannabis and balance the lightness of citrus and spice.
