The Dubai Chewy Cookie (Doo-jjon-ku) Craze and the Madness Behind It • 'Dubai Chewy Cookies' are causing a nationwide frenzy, leading to open-run phenomena. Business owners across all sectors are jumping on the bandwagon to cash in on the boom. • These cookies are a middle-eastern style dessert made by wrapping kataifi and pistachio spread in a marshmallow cookie. Despite the high price of 4,000 to 8,000 KRW due to imported ingredients and manual labor, they are popular for their taste, rarity, and 'Instagrammable' factor. • Recently, the evolution has turned manic, with a 'Giant Doo-jjon-ku' weighing 3kg and costing 300,000 KRW appearing. Even regular restaurants are using them as 'bait items' to boost sales. • However, as key ingredients became scarce, some shops started selling cookies filled with 'somyeon' (thin wheat noodles) instead of kataifi, sparking outrage. Consumers are criticizing this as fraud or 'playing with food.'
