Korea is obsessed with Dubai Chewy Cookies (두바이쫀득쿠키 or “Dujjonku (두쫀쿠)” ) right now! Despite the name, these are 100% Korean-made—not from Dubai. They took Middle Eastern knafeh (crispy shredded pastry) + pistachio filling, wrapped it in marshmallow dough, and coated it in cocoa powder. Total game-changer!
What’s inside:
- Core: Crispy knafeh + creamy pistachio paste + white chocolate (crunchy & nutty)
- Outer layer: Chewy marshmallow dough rolled in cocoa + milk powder
- Result: Perfect chewy-crisp combo that’s addictively delicious (“mat-eob-eob (맛없없)” = “too delicious to exist” in Korean slang!)
Funny twist? Now they’re selling these in Dubai as “Korean Chewy Cookies” 😂 Both sides claim it with country names—pure cultural flex!
I usually skip trends, but got hooked during COVID with dalgona coffee. Trend-chasing can be fun if you enjoy the hype! Perfect dopamine hit (but watch the sugar crash). Have you tried Dujjonku? Where’d you get yours?

I’ve fallen for the charm of Du-jjon-ku.
