Happy " Eid Al fitr" (Muslims celebrate breakfast after fasting the holy month of Ramadan) and "Sham al Naseem festival" ( an ancient Egyptian celebration of harvest ).

Kahk (coptic word) is round to represent the round desk of the sun ☀ the symbol of the ancient Egyptian god "Raa"

The eid cookies (kahk) is the oldest cookie in the world (British museum)

(we still make them today! The filled ones (kahk) in Eid. And the hollow ones (bracelet cookies) in funerals

Our ancestors bringing kahk as symbolic sacrifice to Raa

Speaking of Easter.. Did you know that Sham al Naseem is the og Easter?

But in Egypt we postpone it so that Christians can eat fish (after fasting themselves) 🥰

I can talk about our traditions and civilization all day long but nothing is compared to experiencing Egypt yourself. So don't be a stranger to the mother of the world 🥰❤️🇪🇬

Maamoul (Arabic: معمول‎ [mɑʕmuːl])

Maamoul is an ancient Arab shortbread cookie, usually stuffed with dates, pistachios or walnuts and dusted with powdered sugar. It may be in the shape of balls, domed or as a flattened cookie.

History: The Arabic word Maamoul is derived from the Arabic verb amala‎, meaning to “to do”. This small pastry is very popular in the Arab world and offered at Eid al-Fitr. Maamoul is usually made a few days before Eid al-Fitr, then stored to be served with Arabic coffee and chocolate to the guests who come during the holiday. Arab Christians  eat them in the days before Lent and on Easter.

It is not certain why these cookies came to be associated with Eid al-Fitr and Easter. Many believe that they have a symbolic meaning and remind you that fasting is hard but there is a sweet reward within like Maamoul’s outer shell is bland but the core is sweet. It is certain though that these buttery cookies taste delicious after a month of fasting during Ramadan and Lent.

Kahk seems to be the indisputable ancestor of Maamoul, as it's depicted in temple paintings and carvings dating to the Pharaonic era in Egypt. In addition to nut fillings, Egyptians also have versions stuffed with agameya (a honey-walnut concoction) and loukoum (Turkish delight).
