A non-typical filling with a traditional dough. These semolina cookies pair perfectly with candied orange peel and orange blossom syrup.

The semolina and flour dough of Ma’amoul is flavored with orange blossom water before being stuffed with crushed pistachios and orange blossom syrup and dusted with powdered sugar. They’re nutty, smooth, and delicious.

Our family tends to make this version of Ma’amoul during Eid al Fitr with all of the leftover Ramadan dates, but they can be prepared for any of the holidays.
