On my money it says something like "legal tender for all debts". Does that mean the business owner has to accept the cash or can they call the police and have me arrested for stealing the cookie?

No. There is no Federal law that requires businesses to accept cash. There was a Florida bill last year to require businesses to accept cash, but it didn't pass.
