Making Squid Game Dalgona Cookies

The iconic cookies from Squid Game, also known as Dalgona cookies or ppopgi, are surprisingly simple to make. Here's the breakdown:

Ingredients:

  • Granulated%20Sugar: This is the key ingredient. Use regular white granulated sugar.
  • Baking%20Soda: A tiny pinch of baking soda is essential for the airy, brittle texture.

Equipment:

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Sugar: Place 1-2 tablespoons of sugar in the ladle or pan. Heat over very low heat, stirring constantly with a chopstick or skewer. It will melt and become a golden-amber color. Be patient, burning the sugar will ruin the taste.
  2. Add Baking Soda: Once the sugar is fully melted and smooth, remove the ladle from the heat. Quickly add a pinch (just a tiny amount!) of baking soda. Stir vigorously and quickly until the mixture turns a light beige color and becomes foamy.
  3. Pour and Flatten: Immediately pour the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat. If it's too thick, you can gently flatten it with a spatula or flat-bottomed object. Work quickly, as it sets fast.
  4. Press with Cookie Cutter: Before the cookie cools completely, gently press a cookie cutter firmly into the center. Do not cut all the way through! You only want to create an indentation.
  5. Cool and Serve (or Play the Game): Let the cookie cool completely and harden. Carefully remove it from the parchment paper.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Low Heat is Key: Burning the sugar is a common mistake. Keep the heat low and stir constantly.
  • Work Quickly: Once you add the baking soda, you need to move fast, as the mixture hardens quickly.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing after adding the baking soda can cause it to deflate.
  • Humidity: Humidity can affect the outcome. On humid days, the cookies might be stickier.
  • Practice: It might take a few tries to get the hang of it, so don't be discouraged if your first attempt isn't perfect.
