Dalgona Honeycomb Cookies – It seems there is no one who hasn’t seen the Netflix series “Squid Game”. In episode 3 of the new and cruel series from South Korea, we have all seen the cookie game. A game where the contestants need to separate the shape from the cookie. The cookie is a honeycomb cookie known by its other name; Dalgona cookie. This candy is a famous Korean street food, basically it’s a caramelized lollipop and it’s very easy to make (only 2 ingredients).  

Two round cookies rest on a white surface. One cookie has a heart shape pressed into it, and the other has a star shape. The text "SQUID GAME COOKIE" appears in the bottom right corner.

    I did this and put a cut out circle of parchment paper at the bottom of the tin to prevent sticking, it forms the shape well but the sides stick so it’s still impossible to remove without breaking it. I found the best way to shape them is to spoon some on to parchment paper then lay some more paper on top, then first press it with a tuna can to get the circle shape then use a flat object to flatten it the bulge, then if you blow on the parchment paper to cool it down while peeling it will come off easy, last step is press a shape with a cookie cutter and done. (5 hours and 1/2lb of sugar and frustration)
