'''Ma'amoul''' ( ) is a filled butter cookie made with semolina flour. Originating in the Arab world, the filling can be made with dried fruits like figs, dates, or nuts such as pistachios or walnuts, and occasionally almonds or cheese.
Ma'amoul is usually made during the holidays of Easter, and a few days before Eid (then stored to be served with Arab coffee and chocolate to guests who come during the holiday). It is popular throughout the Arab world.
