Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/10 tsp baking soda
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.

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.
