Cookie Dough is a modern hybrid strain with an undocumented lineage. This cultivar is characterized by a moderate difficulty level during cultivation, making it accessible for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which reaches maturity after a 67-day flowering period.
The chemical profile of this strain is defined primarily by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. These terpenes contribute to a distinct sensory experience that reflects the strain's namesake, balancing earthy undertones with spice and subtle citrus notes. As a THC-dominant hybrid, the combination of these terpenes provides a nuanced flavor profile shaped by its specific cannabinoid content.
The primary effects of Cookie Dough are characterized by a sense of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make the strain a suitable option for individuals seeking relief from stress and pain, or those looking to facilitate sleep. The genetic legacy of this cultivar includes the notable offspring Mint Cookie Dough, which continues to carry forward traits from this specific lineage.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
