Bake Your Own Fabulous Eid Cookies – Watch

It's Time to Feast!

Eid al-fitr is the feast that marks the end of Ramadan.  Because after a month-long of fasting, we’re going to be feasting 🙂

Eid al-Fitr celebrations last for 3 days, and it’s a time when people exchange gifts, wear new clothes and visit family and friends.

In many Muslim countries, Eid is never complete without Kahk (also called Maamoul), the lightly spiced crumbly cookie stuffed with sweet surprises and buried under copious amounts of powdered sugar.

Here, we bring you a variety of recipes and we hope you’ll enjoy every bite 🙂

Eid Mubarak!
