I got several recipes from a Korean friend at the university. This is one of the few sweets recipes - a no bake gluten free candylike cookie which looks quite pretty. For the syrup I've so far used molasses, agave and rice syrup successfully. Cooking time doesn't include cooling time.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients. This will make the baking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Fresh, unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and real sesame seeds will make a big difference in the flavor of the cookies.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Forming the Cookies: When forming the cookies, use a light touch and avoid overworking the dough. This will help prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
  • Baking: Bake the cookies until they are just set but still slightly soft in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
