When it comes to kratom, one cannot deny the versatility in function and form of this herbal extract. For one, it is easy to find kratom in the form of capsules, powder, oils, and tinctures. This convenience allows kratom sellers to reach a wider audience based on diverse preferences and tastes.
Consuming these kratom products releases mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine into the body, which interacts with opioid receptors in the brain leading to its sedative and therapeutic effects. These effects differ in intensity based on the strain and dose of kratom taken. Red dragon strain, in particular, is known for its anti-depressant and anti-stress properties.
Unfortunately, kratom as a powder or tea tends to taste bitter. This unpleasant taste might even turn you off from using kratom as much as you would want to! But don’t worry, there is a solution that promises you the combined effect of health benefits and a lovely chocolate taste.
Fusing kratom in food is possible and allows for the easy intake of the supplement. For this reason, innovative users have begun baking kratom into desserts and snacks to ease the bitter taste and allow discretion of use. Sounds intriguing, right?

Decide On How Much Kratom to Use
The amount of kratom powder you use in your cookies depends on three factors. One is the specific strain you enjoy based on the benefits it offers. Second, how much kratom each cookie should have and consider the number of cookies you want to make.
Let’s say you want to enjoy your kratom cookies as a snack in the evenings to help you relax and unwind after a long day at work. For this, you should choose a strain specifically known for its potent sedative properties, such as the red dragon strain. Other strains offer different effects to users, so pay attention to the specific strain you purchase.
Once you purchase your strain, select the amount of kratom you require in each cookie, and determine how many cookies you want to bake. For a mild dose, 1 gram per cookie will do, but higher doses may take up to 15 grams. This recipe makes 12 cookies, so use 1g x 12 and measure out 12 grams of kratom.
If you are a more experienced user, you may use a higher amount of kratom powder as per your desire.
