- "This tea biscuit made with the cassius flower's tiny black seeds. I s'pose you could enjoy a steaming mug of cassius tea with out one, but if you're hopin' to experience the true taste of Mandalore, this is the way."
- ―Strono Tuggs, The Ultimate Cookbook
Cassius Tea Cookies were a type of cookie made by Mandalorians. It was made with the tiny black seeds found in the flower of the cassius tree. It could be served with Cassius Tea which was made brewed using the same flower. After making a culinary tour of the galaxy[1] between 34 ABY and 35 ABY,[2] the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for the dish in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook,[1] which was published in 35 ABY.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Cassius Tea Cookies were created as a recipe for the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The out-of-universe recipe for the dish makes use of all-purpose flour, black sesame seeds, baking soda, kosher salt, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and extract.[1]

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook establishes that the publishing of the in-universe The Ultimate Cookbook and the culinary tour that preceded it occurred following the publishing of The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook and prior to the destruction of Kijimi. It also establishes that The Ultimate Cookbook was published following the Festival of the Ancestors that occurred during that time period. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook further establishes that The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook was published concurrently with the First Order's search for the Resistance base on Batuu, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. In addition, Timelines dates the Festival of the Ancestors and the destruction of Kijimi to 35 ABY, meaning the tour must have taken place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY and The Ultimate Cookbook must have been published in 35 ABY.
