🎁 If there is one thing Rhut would say about me, it’s that I LOVE a practical gift! It means you see me! You are paying attention to my hobbies, what I make, and what I find joy in and when someone gifts me something useful and practical I view that as you wanting to make it easier for me to enjoy those things! I also LOVE gifting practical items, because seeing someone constantly use something I gifted them lets me know that they not only love it but also it gives them a little reminder of me whenever they use it!

If you’ve got a friend like me, or are a friend like me, I’ve put together a perfect little gift guide for you! It has a list of useful items you can gift the chefs/cooks in your life on my Substack!

🍪 These candied sesame pecan + white chocolate chip cookies were inspired by a candied nut sushi roll I order every single time at my favorite spot! They taste like candied pecan and sesame chikki!

The secret is making a quick pecan praline, breaking it up, and folding it into brown sugar cookie dough with sesame seeds and white chocolate. It sounds fancy but it’s very doable, and the texture payoff is unreal!

✨Get a Free Jar of Royal Cinnamon! ✨ If you’ve watched my videos over the years, you’ve probably spotted these jars in the background more times than you can count! has been a constant in my kitchen for over a decade, and especially when it comes to baking, spice quality really matters! 

When flavors are simple, there’s nowhere for bad spices to hide! Their single-origin sourcing means everything tastes brighter and more aromatic, which is why these jalebi cookies work! You only need a little bit to get a big impact of flavor!

These cookies are a Dutch pretzel-style sugar cookie dough twisted into spirals, finished with orange sugar, and spiced with their Herati Saffron and Cloud Forest Cardamom! And if you’ve ever had the joy of entering my kitchen, you’ve probably had me force you to try a sample of my forever favorite Burlap and Barrel spice, their Royal Cinnamon! It’s naturally sweet, floral, and incredibly fragrant, thanks to heirloom trees over 20 years old! 

If you’re new to Burlap & Barrel, they’re running a rare holiday offer right now! Buy any two spices and get a free jar of Royal Cinnamon!! Just make sure to add it to your cart and use my code CINNAMONMC. Their spice bundles also make thoughtful and actually useful gifts for the cooks and bakers in your life!

✨Sharing a PRO TIP on how to keep cookies softer for longer with today’s Christmas Treat Series recipe! Here’s the little trick that makes these pista burfi-inspired chewy pistachio cardamom cookies extra soft and chewy for longer: a spoonful of light corn syrup makes all the difference! Add 2-4 tablespoons of corn syrup per batch to your drop cookie recipe to keep the centers soft and chewy for days without changing the flavor! If you want to swap it for sugar, 1 tablespoon of corn syrup replaces about 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, but the best results come from adding it in addition to the sugar already in the dough! Try it once and I promise you’ll use this trick it in every cookie!

☕️Still obsessed with these gingerbread aunties, so here they are again! ✨ They’re sweet, sparkly, and honestly the only aunties who won’t comment on your weight or your life choices.

I spiced the cookies with cardamom, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, anise, and ginger to give them that full adhrak ginger) chai vibe, and the fondant saris make them extra cute and work really well since the cookies aren’t too sweet! They’re perfect for dunking in chai and even better for sharing!
