For Eid al Fitr all kinds of delicious foods are made, especially masses of cookies are baked, in all variations you can imagine. the children are looking forward to it for good reason. Traditional biscuits, with almonds, dates, coconut and honey or dried fruit. But also many modern ones, with Oreo's, Twix or Nutella for example.
One thing all the cookies have in common, they are sweet! This celebration is not called Sugar Feast (in Dutch) for no reason. We really wanted to make today's bicuits. Because they are delicious, duh, but they also have a beautiful message: all the colors of the rainbow, all together.
