Lebanese Maamoul is a classic Middle Eastern cookie loved for its delicate texture and rich fillings. Bakers prepare the dough using fine semolina, butter, and a touch of sugar to create a soft, melt-in-the-mouth base. Next, they fill each cookie with dates, pistachios, or walnuts, giving every piece a distinct flavor and texture.
Traditionally, families shape Maamoul using wooden molds or by hand into round or oval forms with intricate patterns. After baking, they lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar, adding gentle sweetness and enhancing their visual appeal. These cookies shine during Eid, Christmas, and family gatherings, making them a cherished festive treat.
Lebanese Maamoul also carries deep cultural significance. Each bite reflects centuries of Middle Eastern culinary tradition, where families make these cookies together during celebrations. Moreover, their buttery texture and flavorful fillings pair perfectly with tea or coffee.
Maamoul has been made for centuries across the Levant — particularly in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine. Families come together to prepare them ahead of Eid, Easter, and Christmas. In many households, Maamoul-making is a bonding activity passed from one generation to another.
Each shape has meaning:
Round for date filling
Oval for pistachios
Flat with a dome for walnuts
These cookies aren’t just dessert — they’re symbols of heritage and hospitality.
Traditional Lebanese Maamoul is made from:
