Seed Oil Free Cassava & Ginger Spiced Cookies

These warmly spiced cookies deliver serious depth of flavor thanks to a bold combination of blackstrap molasses, Ceylon cinnamon, ground ginger, and a touch of turmeric. The base is cassava flour, which gives them a surprisingly tender, almost shortbread-like texture without any grain or gluten — and every fat in the recipe comes from coconut oil, so there's no canola, sunflower, or soybean oil anywhere in sight. That's genuinely hard to find in a packaged cookie, which makes baking your own the obvious move. Apple cider vinegar and arrowroot starch work quietly in the background to help the dough hold together and bake up with clean, defined edges. The dough chills beautifully, rolls out smoothly between parchment sheets, and cuts into whatever shapes you like — making it just as fun to make as it is to eat. Once they cool completely, the cookies firm up into snappy, spiced rounds with a rich molasses backbone that feels festive any time of year.
