& Me Traditional Maamoul Cookie Making Experience! Step into the heart
of Palestinian culture with our Mommy & Me Maamoul-Making Class: Each

Maamoul-Making Class. Designed for one parent and one child, this
unique experience blends cultural connection, creativity, and family
bonding. What We'll Do: • Mix the Spices and Dates: Prepare

make maamoul irresistible. • Shape the Cookies: Learn how to
roll, stuff, and shape the soft, flour-based dough using authentic
molds and tongs to craft intricate, traditional designs.

cookies to golden perfection. • Get in the Eid spirit and
enjoy a story time with Nada Shawish Dutka. Each ticket will also
include a copy of Cookies and Crescents. About Maamoul: Maamoul
cookies are much more than a dessert; they are a symbol of
celebration, history, and heritage. These beloved treats hold deep
significance in Palestinian culture, where they are prepared during
holidays such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, as well as Easter and
Christmas. The art of making maamoul is often a family affair, passed
down through generations. For me, some of my fondest childhood
memories involve making maamoul with my mom and grandmother, where
every step—from mixing the spices to pressing the dough into
molds—was an act of connection and love. Now, I’m thrilled to
share this tradition with you and your child, offering a chance to
create not just delicious cookies but also cherished memories
together. Why Choose This Class? Our flour-based dough is tender, easy
to work with, and perfect for beginners and seasoned bakers alike.
This experience is not just about baking—it's about bonding,
learning, and celebrating a tradition that has been cherished for
centuries. Reserve your spot today and join us for an unforgettable
experience where you and your child will create something truly
special together. Let’s bake, bond, and celebrate!
