Pistachio Maamoul

The same tender shell, a different kind of treasure inside — sweetened ground pistachio that's nutty, fragrant, and vivid green

Our pistachio maamoul uses the same hand-pressed butter cookie dough as our date-filled original, but the filling is a ground pistachio paste — sweet, nutty, and unmistakably premium. Each cookie is pressed into carved molds, baked golden, and dusted with powdered sugar.

The filling that signals you're bringing the good ones

Across the Eastern Mediterranean, pistachio-filled cookies are considered the most luxurious version of the maamoul. Pistachios have always been the prestige ingredient — expensive, vivid green, and impossible to fake. A box of pistachio cookies is what you bring when you're making an impression.

Our version fills the same tender, crumbly butter cookie shell with a sweetened ground pistachio paste. The filling is nutty and rich without being heavy, with a fragrance that sits somewhere between toasted nuts and something almost floral. When you break the cookie in half, the green of the pistachio paste against the golden shell is genuinely beautiful.

Like all our cookies, each one is pressed by hand into carved wooden molds and dusted with powdered sugar before packaging. Same technique, same care, different treasure inside.

Flavor & texture

Nutty, rich, and unmistakably pistachio.

The pistachio filling is sweet but grounded — it tastes like real nuts, not pistachio flavoring. The butter cookie shell adds a sandy, crumbly contrast that makes each bite feel layered.

Texture: The same tender, dissolving shell as our date-filled cookies, giving way to a dense, slightly grainy pistachio paste
Sweetness: Moderately sweet. The pistachio paste has added sugar, but the nuttiness and butter keep it balanced and savory-leaning
Aroma: Roasted pistachios, warm butter, and a faint note of rose water that adds depth without competing

Ideal for: Pistachio lovers. People who appreciate nutty, savory-sweet flavors. Anyone who lights up when they see something pistachio on a menu.
