These irresistible cookies are so versatile. For something special, fill them with peanut butter and juice-sweetened jam to make a cookie sandwich. Dip half the sandwich in chocolate ganache and place on waxed paper–lined baking sheets to firm up the chocolate. There’s only one word for this—outrageous.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix together the flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the canola oil, vanilla extract, and agave nectar and whisk together thoroughly. Combine the 2 mixtures until just blended. Drop the batter by the teaspoonful onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 7 minutes, or until slightly golden. Do not overbake. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely. These cookies crisp up after cooling.
