Gingerbread cookies have become an iconic Christmas cookie, both in Indonesia and abroad. It has a unique and distinctive shape, resembling a smiling child. As the name implies, gingerbread cookies use ginger as one of the ingredients to give a warming effect after consumption, perfect for the cold weather at the end of the year. Aside from ginger, this cookie also contains other typical cookie ingredients such as wheat flour, butter, powdered sugar, eggs, and cornstarch.
Snow princess cookies are also a favorite, especially because of the soft sweetness that comes from the sprinkling of powdered sugar, similar to snow. Be careful when eating it, because the deliciousness of the snow princess cake can make it difficult for Peekay Pals to stop eating it.
Christmas celebrations are often enlivened by the presence of thumbprint cookies. The unique name and shape comes from the manufacturing process, where the cookies are molded using thumbs. The center of the cookie is pressed with the thumb and filled with sweet strawberry jam. The combination of savory cookies and sweet strawberry jam makes thumbprint cookies very popular.
Kastengel or kaastengels are Dutch cookies that are usually served during Christmas. These cookies are also known as cheese cookies because they use cheese as the main ingredient and as a topping. Kastengel cookies have a savory and salty taste. There are various types of cheese commonly used, such as parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, edam cheese, and gouda cheese.
Celebrations of religious holidays are always enlivened with nastar cookies, including during Christmas. This cake is round in shape with pineapple jam filling and sprinkled with cheese slices on the surface. The excess sweetness of nastar goes hand in hand with the sweet smile of welcoming Christmas.
