Crack the 2 large eggs into the sugar mixture. Attach the bowl to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip the eggs, sugars, orange zest, and cinnamon together on medium-high speed until light, fluffy, and pale, about 3-5 minutes. This helps extract maximum flavor from the zest and cinnamon.

Add the 1/4 cup softened cannabis-infused butter and 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter to the whipped mixture. Switch to the paddle attachment and cream the mixture together on medium speed until well combined and smooth, about 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 219 grams of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the stand mixer, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can develop gluten and make the cookies tough.

Scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated. If there are any pockets of unmixed flour, gently fold them in by hand.
