Maamoul are delicate, buttery Middle Eastern cookies made from a semolina or flour-based dough filled with dates, pistachios, or walnuts, then molded in wooden stamps and baked until golden. Popular during Eid, Easter, and Christmas, they originated in Levantine households, including Lebanon, as symbols of celebration and hospitality. Each cookie carries a signature patterned design depending on the filling and is lightly dusted with powdered sugar before serving.

Common variations include maamoul bi ajwa (dates), maamoul bi joz (walnuts), and maamoul bi fustok (pistachios).
