Intricately decorated, on-theme sugar cookies weren’t a thing when I got married back in 2016. Well, maybe they were on IG, but we all know how I feel about social media (🤢).

But being the late adopter and ardent lover of party trends that I am, I did make sure to have plenty of sugar cookies on hand for my baby shower. Partly for the wow factor of having a nice dessert spread. Mostly for the insatiable appetite I had for sweets. And when I say insatiable, I mean in a I went into Whole Foods for a cookie and walked out with a whole ass chocolate pecan pie, kinda way.

Yes, I gained way too much pregnancy weight. No, I have zero regrets. And YES, I still love a beautifully decorated sugar cookie. Especially a mehndi cookie.

The shapes! The colors! The designs! 

 

If social media is good for one thing, it’s seeing the creativity unlocked by people’s quest for a viral photo. And if you’re going to take inspiration for delectable mehndi party cookies of your own, these are the ones to get it from.
