Maamoul Three Ways: Classic Pistachio & Dubai-Style Crunch &3 Countries Combined in One

This cookie was not created by chance — it was designed, researched, and perfected over two years to redefine what a premium cookie can be.

🍪 Mamoul Pistachio Verde

A Premium Cookie Inspired by the Middle East

Mamoul Pistachio Verde is not just a cookie — it is the result of two years of continuous experimentation, refinement, and cultural exploration. This recipe was developed entirely from scratch with one clear goal: to create a cookie that honors tradition while elevating it to a modern, premium level.

🌍 Cultural Fusion: Dubai, Saudi Arabia & Lebanon

This cookie draws inspiration from three rich culinary worlds:

• Lebanon — the traditional Mamoul form, craftsmanship, and pastry heritage

• Saudi Arabia — premium-quality pistachios with deep, authentic flavor

• Dubai — modern luxury dessert aesthetics and the iconic “Dubai chocolate–style” interior

These influences come together in a single, cohesive creation that feels both timeless and innovative.

🎨 Design & Visual Identity

Visually, Mamoul Pistachio Verde stands apart:

• a naturally green pistachio-colored dough, elegant and refined

• a classic Mamoul exterior, detailed and handcrafted

• a luxurious pistachio filling inside, inspired by modern Middle Eastern confections

The overall look is inspired by desert lights, warm nights, and Middle Eastern elegance, turning each cookie into a small edible artwork.

🥜 The Heart: Premium Pistachio Filling

At the center lies a rich, creamy pistachio filling, made using carefully selected pistachios from Saudi Arabia. The filling delivers:

• deep nutty intensity

• smooth, balanced sweetness

• a luxurious mouthfeel without heaviness

Every bite is designed to unfold in layers — from delicate dough to bold pistachio depth.

🔧 Technique & Craftsmanship

Creating this cookie requires precision and patience:

• exact dough hydration for structural integrity

• controlled shaping to preserve Mamoul details

• carefully balanced baking to maintain softness and color

This is where traditional pastry techniques meet modern product development.

🏆 Why This Cookie Stands Out

✔️ Two years of recipe research

✔️ Fully original concept and formulation

✔️ Premium ingredients with clear origin

✔️ Strong cultural storytelling

✔️ Balanced focus on taste, texture, and design

Mamoul Pistachio Verde represents what a competition cookie should be:

intentional, refined, and memorable.

✨ Final Thought

In a competition filled with cookies, this one tells a story.

It respects heritage, embraces innovation, and delivers luxury in every detail.

Mamoul Pistachio Verde was not simply baked —

it was designed, researched, and perfected.

Kitchen Tools

silicone spatula

butterknife

tablespoon

big Bowl

Add all Ingredients in the bowl and mix it until it’s a dough (sorry that it’s not a clear video I’m not a photographer 😅)

Roll out the dough and then cut out shapes in form of a circle that have a diameter of 11cm

Put the date paste into the mamoul in 15g pieces and close theme like in the picture

you ca use also a fork for the design

The dough is strong enough to withstand a fork prick. Another option is to make holes in the cookie with a toothpick, depending on your preference

Bake the mamoul for 12 min in 180 degree oven

There are your super yummy Arabic Mamouls combined with 3 countries and cultures and ideas and long time to create this recipe but finally I’ve made it and this is the final result Mamouls. (If you wonder why I’ve made also the date ones cause in my opinion these two cookies are the best in my opinion you can also make instead the pistachios creme buy dates paste and same process as the pistachios) 😊😉

Stay healthy and see you next time!😊
