    Indian-Spiced Cookie (Biscuit) Recipes

    Published: Nov 26, 2021 · Modified: Dec 14, 2021 by Alonna

    These memorable cookies are inspired by the flavors of India. My favorite is an Indian Rose Cardamom Shortbread cookie flavored with freshly toasted cardamom pods and rose water. They are very similar to the North Indian shortbread called nankhatai.

    6 Indianish cookies perfect for the holidays
    Here are 6 Indian spiced winter cookies that run from cardamom shortbread to spicy chocolate treats. Three of them are gluten-free, and all of them memorably delicious!

    Of course, I love the rest of the cookies too, but my second go-to recipe is a Spicy Chocolate cookie. Hit with a bit of Kashmiri chili powder, there is not enough chili to add heat, but the pairing of chocolate and red chili is magical. Happy baking delicious Indian-spiced cookies!

    Almond Flour Chocolate Cookies
    Rich and chocolaty with cocoa and chocolate chips, these gluten-free chocolate cookies are gooey and chewy. Add a little ground chili to give them a mysterious something extra, or even some kick if you wish.

    Cardamom Spice Cookies (Indian-ish)
    Chewy, intoxicatingly spicy, and coated with sugary crinkles, these cookies are a must with your next cup of tea. You are going to need to hide them from your cookie monsters if you want any left for yourself.

    Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
    Almond flour chocolate chip cookies have two secret ingredients and are savory and delicious. Crispy, crunchy, and no chilling needed; you will never want to go back to the usual cookies again.
