As Ramadan ends, households in the Middle East will celebrate Eid Al-Fitr with an array of traditional sweet treats.
The Eid cookies are buttery and filled with a sweet date or nut paste and dusted generously with powdered sugar.
These traditional biscuits, popular in Egypt, have a light, airy, and crunchy texture with a subtle sweetness.
The Middle Eastern butter cookies, also known as Petite Four, are delicate treats, typically sandwiched with a variety of jams or dipped in chocolate and adorned with sprinkles or crushed nuts.
Aseeda, a jelly-like dessert made from cooked wheat flour and honey, is enjoyed during festivities in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Sudan and Libya.
Sevia, a warm and sweet vermicelli milk dish, is often enjoyed during Eid.
Palestinians often stuff this with either pine nuts or almonds. In Syria and Lebanon, Eid biscuits are stuffed with dates or walnuts. In Iraq, these are known as klaicha.
