Yakgwa is a traditional Korean dessert cookie made with a blend of sweet rice flour, honey, and oil, giving it a rich, deep flavor and a slightly chewy, yet crisp texture. Often shaped like a flower, Yakgwa is fried to golden perfection and then soaked in a sweet syrup, resulting in a delightful sweetness with hints of ginger and nutty undertones.
Originally enjoyed during special celebrations or holidays in Korea, this cookie is now a popular treat for anyone who enjoys indulging in a little sweetness, whether with tea or as a snack on its own.
