About this recipe

Description

Experience the warmth and hospitality of Lebanon through baking!
Our Lebanese Maamoul Activity Kit brings families together to make delicate Maamoul cookies — buttery shortbread-style treats filled with spiced dates and nuts. They’re as fun to shape as they are delicious to share.

As you bake, explore Lebanese culture with hands-on activities and fun facts designed for curious young bakers:

Tea & Tradition: Learn about Lebanese tea culture, where tea is a sign of friendship and often flavored with mint, rose water, or orange blossom.

Flag Connection: Complete a connect-the-dots activity to uncover the meaning of Lebanon’s famous cedar tree flag.

Language Fun: Practice basic Lebanese Arabic phrases like how to say “hello” and introduce yourself.

More than a baking project, this kit is a flavorful journey into Middle Eastern heritage — blending culinary creativity with cultural discovery, right from your kitchen.

Fun, Educational, and Delicious!

"This honeycomb sugar cookie decorating kit is a hit! It’s perfect for combining baking with a fun geometry lesson. The instructions were clear, and the kids loved decorating the hexagon cookies while learning about shapes. The cookies were tasty, too! Great for homeschooling or as a unique gift. Highly recommend!"

Fun, educational, and a sweet treat!

"I bought the pollination exploration bundle and I absolutely loved it. The Hexagon Honeycomb Cookies were my fav! The cookies turned out delicious, with the fun shapes of the cookie cutters! Included in the box are a bunch of STEM activities about bees and pollination, a really fun bonus. My kids loved learning about the importance of bees while we baked. Plus, all the ingredients are pre-measured and neatly packaged, making it super easy to make. A great combination of fun, education, and tasty treats!"

Erica (5/5)

Easy & fun

"The pre-measured ingredients make baking with my son so easy! The directions were easy and he loved learning about the STEM activities as we cooked"

Nicole (5/5)

Fun box for kids

"My kids really loved baking together and it was fun trying new recipes that we would have never done on our own."

Kelly (4/5)

A STEM science project you can eat!

"These kits are beautiful and so much fun! My 7 year old was able to pour and mix 90% of the ingredients on his own and he loved the booklet that talked all about the Earth and how what he was making tied back to what he was reading. The ingredients are very high quality (spirulina instead of food dye is genius and healthy!) and you hardly need a thing from your fridge or pantry that you don't already have on hand. We also very much appreciated the nut free nature of these kits. We deal with unfortunate food allergies like so many families and Bākit Box got the memo. We give it an A+"

A brilliant idea for kids

"I love BāKIT box! One box is hours worth of fun. I loved baking with my 3 year old and it's so nice that all the ingredients are pre measured and ready to go. The learning aspect is great too!"

Stephanie E. (5/5)

Perfect Family Activity

"We absolutely loved BāKIT Box. It was a fun way to bring together 3 things we already love, 1) yummy treats, 2) family time, and 3) learning. The kids and I are still talking about how much fun we had. One of my favorite parts of the bundle was the conversation that it opened up for my kids and I. Definitely would recommend this to anybody!"
