Dark Cookie strain guide
2 min read · Updated · WeedDB editors
Dark Cookie is an indica-leaning hybrid from the Cookies family, sometimes sold as Dark Cookies. People know it for a chocolatey, creamy smell with a little mint, and a calm, relaxing feel. Its exact breeding isn't well documented.
Where does Dark Cookie come from?
The cross most often given for Dark Cookie is Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies with Tahoe OG, and it's usually described as about 75% indica. Only one strain database names those parents, though, so we're treating it as likely rather than confirmed.
Another strain guide credits a breeder called Dr. Underground but doesn't name the parents, and the breeder isn't widely documented elsewhere.
What does Dark Cookie smell and taste like?
Dark Cookie leans dessert: chocolate, cream and sugar, with nutty notes, a cool hint of mint and, underneath, some gas, diesel and earthy spice from its OG side.
The terpene results we found put myrcene first, then caryophyllene and limonene. That comes from a single source, so check your batch's label.
Dark Cookie effects: what people report
People describe Dark Cookie as calming and relaxing, with a gentle mood lift up front that settles into a heavier body feel. Some call it uplifting, and others say larger amounts get sleepy or couch-locking.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the batch and how much you have. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the usual complaints.
How strong is Dark Cookie?
Listings put Dark Cookie at about 18% to 24% THC, with some batches reported a little higher and very little CBD. That's high but not extreme for a Cookies strain.
Start small and give it time before having more. The numbers on the label matter more than the name, and our guide to reading cannabis labels can help.
Buying Dark Cookie in Canada
Dark Cookie is not a common name, and Cookies strains are easy to mix up, so read the label carefully to check which strain and producer you're getting.
If you find it, check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that chocolate and mint smell.
Dark Cookie vs Thin Mints
Thin Mints is the Girl Scout Cookies cut that's most often named as Dark Cookie's parent, though that link comes from limited sources. Thin Mints is known for a sweet mint and dough smell and a clear lift that settles into calm. Dark Cookie keeps a little of that mint but adds chocolate, cream and an OG gas edge, and it's described as more indica and more relaxing. If you want the minty classic, try Thin Mints. If a darker, chocolatey take sounds better, Dark Cookie fits.
