Dubai Chewy Cookies (henceforth “Dujjonku”) are now showing up in premium holiday treats for Lunar New Year.
Department stores are selling upscale rice cakes and gift boxes featuring the trendy cookie (Hankookilbo).
Even traditional markets are stocking Dujjonkus. Some shoppers are reportedly picking them up as special gifts for their grandchildren ahead of the holiday (Hankookilbo).
Dujjonku has become one of Korea’s most talked-about sweets 🧆.
The filling blends kadayif, pistachio spread, white chocolate, skim milk powder, and butter.
That rich center is wrapped in melted marshmallow and finished with a dusting of chocolate powder.
Despite the relatively steep price around 6,000 to 10,000 KRW per piece, the cookies often sell out due to high demand.
Health professionals, however, are urging caution.
Because the cookie combines high amounts of refined sugar and fat, it can cause blood sugar levels to spike quickly and remain elevated, placing strain on the pancreas and cardiovascular system (SBS 뉴스).
