I also made some with no filling, though everyone preferred the agwa version. Kahk, or Ka'ak al-Eid (Arabic: كحك or كعك العيد), is a small circular biscuit eaten across the Arab world to celebrate Eid al-Fitr and Easter. It is covered with powdered sugar and can be stuffed with 'agameya (عجمية, a mixture of honey, nuts, and ghee), lokum, walnuts, pistachios, or dates.
