Dates & Cookies · Palestinian Roots
Now baking: ma'amoul
We make handmade Palestinian desserts rooted in date traditions, giving the classics we grew up with a fresh twist. Everything is baked to order in our Irvine home kitchen and delivered with love across Orange County.
Buttery semolina shortbread filled with sweet date paste and warm spices, finished with pecans. A Palestinian classic, shaped and pressed entirely by hand.
Thick, gooey cookies loaded with Ghirardelli chocolate and crunchy Heath toffee bits. Bakery-sized and made with real sweet cream butter.
Melt-in-your-mouth buttery shortbread wrapped around smooth date paste and rolled in crushed pistachios. A decadent twist on a Palestinian classic.
Rooted Crumbs began in our family kitchen, with recipes passed down through generations and the smell of dates, butter, and warm spices that has always meant home to us. What started as baking for the people we love grew into something we are proud to share with our community.
Every batch is made by hand in our Irvine home kitchen, in small quantities, and baked fresh only after you order. We stay close to our Palestinian roots and the traditions behind sweets like ma'amoul and ghraybeh, while giving a few of the classics a modern twist of our own.
When you order from Rooted Crumbs, you are not just getting a box of cookies. You are tasting a piece of our story, made with the same care we would put into a gift for our own family.
"The ma'amoul tasted exactly like my grandmother's. You can tell every piece is made with love. Already ordering again for Eid."
"Those chocolate chip toffee cookies did not last the drive home. Soft, gooey, and the toffee is everything. Highly recommend."
"Ordered a box as a gift and it was such a hit. Beautiful packaging and the ghraybeh with pistachios is unreal. Thank you Rooted Crumbs!"
