Would a recipe with these ingredients meet the Halal requirements?

Vanilla wafers
Hershey's cocoa
Powdered sugar
Butter or margarine
Cream cheese
Sugar
All-purpose flour
Pumpkin pie spice
Canned pumpkin
Eggs
Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Things to avoid......
Animal Shortening
Bacon
Bacon bits
Gelatin
Ham
Hydrolyzed animal protein
Hydrolyzed porcine collagen
Lard
Pork

I am certainly not an expert, AT ALL, on this subject....but my understanding was that halal requirements centered around animal/bird meat, blood, methods of slaughter of animals/birds and also forbids alcohol. So the vanilla flavoring in the cookies would a problem, i assume, as vanilla extract is liquor based? I will be reading this thread to learn more about these requirements....sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Here are the ingredients for Nabisco Nilla Wafers:

UNBLEACHED ENRICHED FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE [VITAMIN B1], RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN B2], FOLIC ACID), SUGAR, SOYBEAN OIL, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED COTTONSEED OIL, WHEY (FROM MILK), EGGS, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, SALT, LEAVENING (BAKING SODA AND/OR CALCIUM PHOSPHATE), EMULSIFIERS (MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES, SOY LECITHIN). CONTAINS: WHEAT, MILK, EGG, SOY.

I think it looks Halal-ok. Unless I'm missing something....

Halal is very much like Kosher (per a Muslim coworker). Animals have to be slaughtered a certain way, no pork etc.

I would look for the Kosher symbols and use that.

Have your tried googling Halal requirements?
