Ingredients

Scale

Per Honeycomb Candy Dalgona Cookie

Instructions

  1. Gather all the equipment and tools.
  2. Place your silicone baking mat and a pot of hot water next to the stovetop.
  3. In a stainless steel ladle or saucepan, add granulated sugar.
  4. Melt the sugar over medium-high heat, frequently stirring with a pair of wooden chopsticks.
  5. Continue to use the wooden chopsticks to crush the sugar crystals.
  6. Once the sugar changes to an amber-brown colour, remove the ladle or saucepan from direct heat.
  7. Add a pinch of baking soda and continue stirring. Do not over stir or let it over foam. The dalgona mixture will aerate and turn to a light-brown / tan colour.
  8. Pour the mixture onto the silicone baking mat and allow it to cool down approximately 15-20 seconds.
  9. Press down the candy cookie with a smooth bottom surface or hotteok press to desired thickness, approximately 1/4" thickness.
  10. Stamp the dalgona cookie with a cute cookie cutter immediately. Stamp firmly, but not all the way through, so the cut-out is not separated from the dalgona honeycomb cookie.
  11. Let cool.
  12. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Tips for Making Dalgona Honeycomb Candy

  • Get all your ingredients and tools ready before starting. Once you begin, you won't have time to run around gathering tools.
  • Control the heat and do not burn the sugar. Remove the saucepan or ladle away from the heat source if it gets too hot.
  • A gas stove or portable butane stove works much better than a stovetop.
  • Use a pair of wooden chopsticks or a heat-prove rubber spatula to stir the sugar while it is melting. Remove any clumps.
  • Once the sugar begins to turn brown, quickly add in baking soda. The mixture will immediately start to foam.
  • It is best to remove the ladle from heat before adding in the baking soda and stir immediately. You only have a small window before it starts to cool down!
  • You can briefly put it back over the heat, but don't let it foam up too long.
  • Spoon the hot dalgona mixture over the silicone baking mat. Let it cool off slightly for 15-20 seconds before pressing it all the way down to desired thickness.
  • Quickly press your cookie cutter into the dalgona honeycomb candy (but not all the way thru).
  • Let it cool for 5 minutes before removing it from the baking sheet.
  • Keep a pot of hot water nearby to rinse off the ladle and chopsticks in between batches.
  • If you do not have baking soda, you can substitute baking powder. Use three times the amount that the recipe calls for. For example, if the recipe calls for 1/10th a teaspoon, use 3/10th a teaspoon.
