Rosewater Pistachio Bars
A pistachio shortbread base under a delicate rosewater glaze. Soft, perfumed, and an instant linalool match.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup pistachios, finely ground
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cannabis-infused butter (~60mg THC total / ~5mg per bar)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp rosewater
- Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar + 2 tbsp milk + 1/2 tsp rosewater
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios, to garnish
- Edible rose petals, to garnish (optional)
How to make it
- 1
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8x8 pan with parchment, leaving overhang.
- 2
Whisk flour, ground pistachios, sugar, and salt.
- 3
Cut in cannabis-infused butter and rosewater until the dough comes together.
- 4
Press dough firmly into the pan. Bake 25–28 minutes until edges are pale gold and the center is set.
- 5
Cool completely in the pan. Lift out using parchment.
- 6
Whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over the slab. Top with chopped pistachios and rose petals.
- 7
Slice into 12 bars. Standard baking heat does not significantly degrade THC at this duration.
Cooking tips
- Use evenly creamed cannabis butter for consistent dosing across bars.
- Pair with Lavender or Purple Kush for the deepest linalool synergy.
- Rosewater is potent—start with 1 tsp and adjust upward only if you love it.

Why this pairing works
Linalool — in your strain and on your plate
Linalool is the most floral terpene, beloved for its anxiety-lowering, sleep-supporting effects. It pairs beautifully with delicate, sweet, slightly floral foods—an ideal nightcap terpene.
