AIP Friendly Cassava & Ginger Spiced Cookies
Warm spices, deep molasses, and a satisfying snap — these cookies deliver everything you want from a classic ginger spice treat without a single ingredient that conflicts with an elimination-style protocol. Cassava flour and arrowroot starch team up to create a dough that actually rolls and cuts beautifully, which is a genuine win when grain-free baking so often produces crumbly, frustrating results. Coconut oil keeps things rich, while blackstrap molasses and a touch of maple syrup bring that deep, caramel-dark sweetness. Ground ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and turmeric layer in warmth and complexity that makes each bite feel far more indulgent than the ingredient list might suggest. The dough chills in the fridge before rolling, so it handles like a dream and holds crisp edges through the cut-out process. With 24 cookies in a single batch, you'll have plenty to share — or stash in an airtight container for the week ahead. These are the kind of treats that make it genuinely easy to stick to your protocol without feeling like you're missing out on anything.
