Halal baking ideas for a friend

I’m not Muslim myself, but I’m hanging out with a Muslim friend this week and want to bake her something nice. Anyone have good halal recipes? I’m leaning toward brownies or cookies. I heard vanilla extract might be haram, so what can I use instead?

That's so thoughtful of you! For brownies, just use alcohol-free vanilla extract or vanilla powder. You can find them at halal shops or online. They taste great!

You're such a considerate friend! Just check 'halal vanilla extract' on Amazon, many brands are alcohol-free. Or try maple syrup as a flavor booster.

Brownies are a solid choice! Make sure your chocolate chips are halal too-some have emulsifiers that aren't. Check for halal logos.

Aww you're a sweet friend! Yeah, skip the vanilla extract if it has alcohol. I just add a bit more cocoa powder to cookies, works like a charm.

So cute! I'm a Muslim baker and I use Rose water or orange blossom water in cookies. It gives a lovely twist and is totally halal!

You can also make a cardamom flavored cake instead! It's a classic Muslim dessert vibe and no vanilla needed. Your friend will love it!

Love this! I use vanilla bean paste instead of extract-it's halal-friendly and gives a rich flavor. Your friend will appreciate the effort so much!
