Eid cookies

After fasting for a whole month from dawn to dusk Ramadan is almost over and the Eid celebrations will start in a couple of days to mark the end of this big religious event.
Eid is a truly loved holiday by the big and small; the adults feel spiritually fulfilled and excited to go back to the regular rythm of life that they found a new appreciation for. Children are given money, new clothes and are happy to wake up to the ultimate breakfast...Cookies!! lol a big collection of cookies and semolina pancakes and other delicacies are served with mint tea and coffee to celebrate. That was the cultural bit of the day :-)

I am sharing with you here some cookies  that I've prepared for Eid, I will be posting the recipes on a later time.

Snow balls with shredded coconut


Almond cookies and sesame cookies


Coconut semolina cookies


Flour cookies or Moroccan shortbread cookies


My kids' favorite cookies because they can use the cookie cutters :-)

Enjoy!
