Garri Cookies

Garri is made from dried, fermented cassava, a tuber native to South America and introduced to Africa by Portuguese traders from Brazil in the 16th century. San Francisco chef Simileoluwa Adebajo says her family, like many in Nigeria, often eat garri mixed with ground nuts, sugar and milk, like a cereal. These subtly sweet cookies are crisp and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups garri (cassava flakes), ground into a fine powder (see Tip)

  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder

  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold vegan butter or unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

  • ¾ cup cold water, as needed

  • 2 cups neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
