These are the most delicate, sophisticated, and beautiful cookies to ever come into existence. Ma’amoul are the Levants celebratory cookie. You see these for Eid at the end of Ramadan with the Muslim community and you also see them at Easter with the Christian community. They are soft, buttery, melt in your mouth cookies filled with either dates, pistachios, or walnuts. This recipe shares the date and pistachio versions and I hope to soon learn and share the walnut version. They’re perfect with a cup of tea or coffee or if you like to live on the edge, a cup of milk. They’re usually made in big batches and each step is done on separate days but here I did everything within 24 hours.
