Ma’amoul are delicate date-filled butter cookies with a decorative pattern on the outside made by using a Ma’amoul mold.. Ma’amoul is always on the dessert table in Lebanon for holidays and celebrations of all kinds.
Ma’amoul originated in ancient Egypt, although no-one knows how they became associated with Easter and Eid. Some say they are meant to remind people that at the end of the fasting period, there is a sweet reward! .
We serve Ma’amoul either as a single portion of 3 pieces or a sharing portion with 12..
