Korean Cookies and Biscuits 🍪

What’s your preferred cookie? Small, chocolate-filled, and crunchy? Or maybe a generously-sized biscuit perfect for dipping in tea? How about maybe a flaky wafer that melts in the mouth? Or maybe you’re like me and enjoy every biscuit out there. Either way, I’m sure we’re all a little bit guilty of enjoying one or two of these little sweet treats, and here's a list of these moments of happiness that can be found in South Korea. 

• Lotte Sand Pineapple Cookies

Ever thought of trying pineapple-flavoured cookies before? Now you can!
Lotte Sand Pineapple Cookies are sandwich biscuits with a soft and creamy pineapple filling, that has been referred to as sweet and fruity. It’s like you’re eating fruit, too, right?

• Kanchyo

And now, for something cute! …not too cute to eat, of course. You'll be pleasantly pleased when you chomp on one of these cookies as a lovely, sweet strawberry filling awaits you. A light, sugary snack for those work-time cravings.

• Watermelon Choco Pie

Watermelon and chocolate, just think about it for a second. At first, you may think it’s a bit strange, and maybe it is, but sometimes food collaborations can work out for the best. Think of that delicious, fruity taste of a watermelon mixing with the sweet, smooth chocolate while munching down on the soft, cakey biscuit. Maybe it’s like Marmite—you either like it or you don’t—but don’t knock it until you try it.
