Caffeine Free Cassava & Ginger Spiced Cookies
Warm spices, deep molasses, and a hint of golden turmeric make these cookies feel like the coziest thing you could pull out of an oven. The dough comes together with cassava flour and arrowroot starch as the base, giving you a tender, slightly chewy bite that holds its shape beautifully when cut — perfect for any occasion that calls for a pretty cookie. Blackstrap molasses and maple syrup bring a rich, layered sweetness, while Ceylon cinnamon and ground ginger deliver that classic spiced warmth without any bitterness. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of caffeine — no chocolate, no cocoa, no tea extracts — you can enjoy these without a second thought, whether you're sensitive to stimulants or simply cutting back. The chilled dough rolls out cleanly between parchment sheets, making the whole process surprisingly low-stress and genuinely fun. Just watch the bake time closely; pulling them while the centers still look soft is the secret to that perfect, just-set texture once they cool.
