White Cookies strain guide
3 min read · Updated · WeedDB editors
White Cookies is a hybrid that crosses White Widow with Girl Scout Cookies. People know it for a sweet, buttery smell with vanilla notes and a relaxed, giggly feel that can turn sleepy. One strain database notes it also goes by White Oreos.
Where does White Cookies come from?
The cross is well agreed: White Widow, the Dutch classic, paired with Girl Scout Cookies from California. Two strain databases both credit Canadian seed company Crop King Seeds for the version most people know.
It isn't the only version out there. An reviewer on one strain database points out that a Relentless Seeds cut grows and smokes differently, so two products with this name won't always match. It's usually listed as a hybrid with an indica lean.
What does White Cookies smell and taste like?
Sweet and buttery is the usual first impression, with vanilla on top. Reviewers also pick up earthy, piney and slightly gassy notes, and some listings mention lemon, chocolate and mint.
One strain database's published terpene results lead with limonene, followed by myrcene and caryophyllene. Limonene adds the lemony lift, myrcene the earthy depth and caryophyllene a peppery edge. The smoke is usually described as smooth and sweet.
White Cookies effects: what people report
People most often call White Cookies relaxed and giggly, with a happy, euphoric mood early on. As it settles, plenty of reviewers say it gets sleepy, and one reviewer on one strain database describes heavy couch-lock. Hunger comes up often too.
These are experiences people report, not promises. Your batch, the amount and your tolerance all change how it lands. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the common complaints, and some people mention feeling anxious.
How strong is White Cookies?
Listings put White Cookies at about 15% to 22% THC. Crop King Seeds lists its version at a little over 19% THC with under 1% CBD. One strain database shows a much higher CBD figure, but no other source backs that up, so treat it as an error and check your own label.
Start low and give it time, especially later in the day, since many people find it sleepy. The THC and CBD numbers on the package matter more than the name.
Buying White Cookies in Canada
Because more than one seed company sells a White Cookies, the smell and strength can vary from one producer to the next. White Oreos may be the same strain under another name, so read the label for the cross if it's listed.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date before you buy.
White Cookies vs White Widow
White Widow is one parent, and it's the brighter, more balanced of the two. White Widow is known for an earthy, woody smell and an upbeat, social feel, while White Cookies picks up sweet vanilla and butter from its Cookies side and is more often called relaxed and sleepy. Their THC listings overlap. If you want something lively for daytime, White Widow fits better. If a sweeter, heavier wind-down sounds right, try White Cookies.
