Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If the dough is too sticky to shape, extend the resting time in the fridge slightly to make it easier to handle.
  • After brushing with jocheong syrup, chill in the refrigerator or freezer until cold to achieve the characteristic texture: a firm, crunchy exterior with a soft interior.
  • To reduce the sweetness, adjust the amount of powdered sugar mixed into the cream cheese or the jocheong in the dough to your taste.

Recommended for

  • Anyone who wants to make the popular dense and chewy yakgwa cookies at home with great value.
  • Anyone who wants to start baking easily and quickly using store-bought crackers without complicated measurements.
  • Anyone looking for an intensely sweet dessert to enjoy with Americano or milk.
