Emperor Cookie Dough Strain is a reasonably well-balanced hybrid with a 65/35 leaning towards Sativa. Unfortunately, this means that you’ll get Emperor Cookie Dough clones often. This is an incredibly popular type of cannabis, largely because it offers both a warm indica hug and a cerebral burst of sativa energy. In addition to that, Emperor Cookie Dough was considered to be one of the strongest strains in the 2016 High Times. As it takes two dank strains and crosses them to make one dank monster strain, it’s a certified #dankenstein strain. It’s a potent, balanced, and very tasty strain that you don’t want to miss!
This strain is also sometimes called Imperial Cookies, Cookie Dough Cannabis strain, or Cookie Dough Weed. Emperor Cookie Dough clones usually copy the names.

Emperor Cookie Dough strain: Indica or Sativa?
Emperor Cookie Dough (and Emperor Cookie Dough clones) are balanced hybrids. These are very sought-after strains because they offer both the best effects from both branches of the cannabis tree. The potency of this strain is very high, leading some users to feel a little overwhelmed after smoking this strain. Read below for our tips on what to do if you start to feel the strain take over. Emperor Cookie Dough buds have a great tight, spherical shape. This makes it a perfect strain to grind up and stick inside your flower vaporizer.
Emperor Cookie Dough strain genetics
If you know anything about cannabis, then you will have heard of Girl Scout Cookies. If you haven’t heard of Girl Scout Cookies, then you’re definitely in for a treat. It’s one of the best-tasting strains in the business and often gives its ‘children’ its taste and potency. Emperor Cookie Dough is no different, as this strain was created for potency and flavor. By crossing GSC with an OG strain, the original breeders of this strain made an absolute powerhouse of a strain. The two strains inside Emperor Cookie Dough are:
- Emperor OG
- Girl Scout Cookies
Emperor Cookie Dough strain THC percentage
As mentioned previously, this is one of the strongest marijuana strains on the market. As such, it’s 100% not the best option for beginner stoners. The average Sativa-dominant hybrid contains around 13% THC. The average Emperor Cookie Dough strain has about 35% THC. However, the absolute strongest phenotypes of this strain contain around 41% THC. This is enough to blow anyone’s head off, so please be careful. This is literally the definition of a one-hitter strain. Once you take one hit you’ll feel too stoned to have another one. You’ve been warned!
Emperor Cookie Dough strain price
This is a dankenstein strain, whose original breeder is hard to pin down. Emperor Cookie Dough clones might also increase the difficulty in pricing. The seeds are not available online unless you want to buy some snake oil from a snake oil salesman. As such, the price is incredibly high. That’s because it’s one of the strongest strains, it tastes great, and it’s very high in demand. In an LA dispensary it’s probably about $20 a gram. In a coffee shop in Amsterdam, you’re likely to pay about $35 a gram. This is because the supply in Amsterdam is exceedingly low for these kinds of strains, and only the best of the best coffee shops will have a strain like this. They know this, and therefore they charge whatever they want for these kinds of strains.
Emperor Cookie Dough strain taste
Emperor Cookie Dough, and all the Emperor Cookie Dough clones inherit much of their taste profile from its Girl Scout Cookie parent. This makes it an incredibly tasty strain. As such, it’s not worth adulterating this strain with tobacco or papers. Your best bet is to either bong this strain or if you want to have the best taste possible, put it inside your trusted flower vaporizer. If you grind the buds up first, you’ll allow the best taste possible to shine through. You won’t regret smoking it this way. The full taste profile of Emperor Cookie Dough is:
- Citrus
- Lime
- Sweet
Emperor Cookie Dough strain oil, wax, shatter, edibles, etc.
Emperor Cookie Dough isn’t the best choice for making concentrates unless you somehow procure some seeds yourself. That is because you need a relatively large amount of the strain to make a good amount of concentrates, and as it’s such a rare (read: expensive) strain, this probably isn’t worth it. However, if you do somehow manage to get seeds or clipping of this strain, the taste and potency of this strain make it an absolutely perfect choice for making into a concentrate.
Edibles can be made in one of two ways:
- Using already vaped bud (recycle what’s in your flower vaporizer!)
- Using decarboxylated flower to make them
Either method requires heat first, which is an essential part of making cannabis edibles. This turns THCA into THC, which is the chemical that gives you your high. This process is called decarboxylation, and, without it, the potency of your edibles will go down massively. You must also mix your decarbed weed with a fat or oil.

Please don’t smoke this strain if you’re fairly new to cannabis. It would be like that first time you ever got drunk and you downed an entire bottle of vodka by yourself. Think about how well that turned out. THINK ABOUT IT. Yeah, we don’t want a repeat of that either. If, however, you’re an adept stoner and you’re looking for a Sativa-dominant hybrid to help you with stress or depression, then Emperor Cookie Dough is definitely going to be one to try. It will help you with the stress and worries of depression because of its high THC percentage and balanced, albeit Sativa-dominant, high.
If you do feel too stoned after lighting up, you can follow this guide on how to feel less stoned:
- Take a cold shower
- Drink a hot coffee
- Go for a run, go for a swim
- Simply relax in a room, lying down, and focus on your breathing
- Remember that it’s all in your head, and it’s just the weed making you feel bad
After you follow these steps, you should feel a lot less stoned.

- Should be enjoyed inside a flower vaporiser
- Not for new stoners
