I am all about holidays cookie around Christmas time, and I love experimenting with different textures, spices, and shapes when it comes to baking and decorating. Christmas is always spent with my big ole’ desi fam, and we love to create holiday cookies that have a lil’ desi flair, either in how they look or in the flavor profiles we use.

So, I give you 10 cookie recipes with decorating instructionals on how to jazz up your holiday cookie like a bawse! (Thank me later.)

2. Ginger Chai Spiced Cookies

Humdrum gingerbread men are usually what come to mind when I think of holiday cookie recipes.  But Pooja Thomas-Patel of the cooking and culture blog Indiaphile jazzes up gingerbread and gives it a more modern look with these beauties. What’s there not to love about a cookie packed with butter, fresh ginger, and grated jaggery with royal icing piped in henna inspired swirls? *Drooling.* Get the recipe here. 

3. Garam Masala Chocolate Cookies

Food network star Aarti Sequeira offers another brilliant take on gingerbread by adding garam masala and using toasted fennel seeds, dried rose petals, and blinged-out dragees as garnish. Get this holiday cookie recipe here.

7. Spiced Cardamom Cookies

This recipe is an adaptation from Martha Stewart’s recipe. You could use any shape cookie cutter of course, but these Christmas trees are obviously timely and hella cute! Get the recipe here. 

8. Three Wise Men Christmas Cookies

Look! Brown men! These cookies are ridiculously cute and creative. This recipe and how-to are for your serious holiday cookie creators. Klickitat Street’s tutorial makes it look approachable, dare I say, even easy. However, my suspicion tells me you have to have a steady hand and patience to create these cute cookies! Get the recipe here.

9. Elf Cookies

Speaking of brown men, you could easily morph these cookies into little desi elves (anyone else picturing Aamir Khan?) by following the recipe, but using the icing to color different parts. For instance, you can use the brown icing as the “flesh icing” and the black icing used on the eyes for the hair as well! Get the recipe here.

10. Christmas Nankhatai Cookies

holiday cookies

Nankhatai are Indian shortbread cookies and supremely rich and delicious. Maida, besan, ghee, and masala rounded into cookies? Yes, please. Get the recipe here.
