Before we get into it, maybe you’re wondering, what the heck is a mochi cookie? It’s a cookie stuffed with mochi, simple as that. In Korea there’s a super popular store bought cookie that’s called Cheongwoo Choco Chip. It’s a double chocolate cookie stuffed with chewy mochi. Since travel to Korea isn’t anywhere in the near future and securing a box online is harder than getting BTS tickets, I decided to make them at home. I took my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and encased a center of chewy, gooey mochi.

This cookie is so good: crisp caramelized edges, pools of melted chocolate puddles, a light sprinkling of salt, and gooey, chewy, soft mochi in the middle.Not going to lie, the ingredient list is long because you’re going to make mochi and cookies. The cookies have your standard ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, butter, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, vanilla, and chocolate. For the mochi you need glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, sugar, milk, and butter.

To make cookie, you need glutinous rice flour. Glutinous rice flour is rice flour that’s milled from glutinous rice. Ironically, it’s gluten free since it’s made from rice. I use the Erawan/Elephant brand of glutinous rice flour, the kind that comes in a clear bag with green printing on it. You can use mochiko flour too, the kind that comes in a box, if that’s what you have.

I know these cookies seem a little out there but they are truly so good. I hope you give them a try because they will change your life. If you like cookies with marshmallows or anything soft and chewy, mochi cookies are for you!.Knead, knead, knead. The more you knead the mochi, the softer, smoother, and chewier it will be.Enjoy the cookies just a tiny bit warm. You don’t want to eat them while they’re hot but while they’re still warm is a revelation. The chocolate will be melty and the mochi will be gooey.

The texture and flavors meld together perfectly.Keep the cookies at room temp in an air tight container. Warm them up slightly in the microwave (10 seconds or so) when you want to enjoy them.If you’re a snickerdoodle lover like me, you’ve probably searched google for “The Best Snickerdoodle Recipe.” For a long time, the top hit was Ms. Sigg’s Snickerdoodles. There are also a bunch of other recipes out there claiming they’re the best. I’ve made them all because I have loved snickerdoodles my whole life. After extensive research and experimentation, this recipe is hands down my favorite snickerdoodle recipe.
