mochi cookies or korean rice cake cookie recipe (viral and trending)

Craving quick cookies, I whipped up these one-bowl wonders that perfectly hit the spot. Inspired by a viral reel from imchaee on TikTok, these cookies are not just easy to whip up, but they're also gluten-free and vegan. I adore their contrasting textures: a crispy exterior complemented by an irresistibly chewy, mochi-like interior. I chose to infuse mine with ube extract, lending them a delightful purple hue. But the beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility — feel free to get creative with mix-ins and various extracts to customize the flavor and color.

They disappeared from my plate so swiftly that I can't give you any storage recommendations just yet. Nonetheless, I urge you to give them a whirl! Make my version of the viral and trending Korean rice cake cookies, or call them mochi cookies!

Mochi Stuffed Ube Crinkle Cookie Recipe by Kat Lieu

These bright purple cookies come to us from Kat Lieu’s book Modern Asian Baking at Home. The cookies get their distinctive color and aroma from the Filipino purple yam ube (specifically, in the form of ube extract and ube halaya, a sweet jam). The ube gives the cookie dough a fruity, coconutty flavor with notes of vanilla, and the chewy, stretchy mochi centers hiding beneath the surface take these treats to the next level.

Matcha Wreath Cookies Recipe (Matcha Spritz Cookies) by Kat Lieu

This holiday season, or for any occasion, you’ll want to make these delicious matcha spritz cookies. They’re more cakey than crispy and may remind you of the buttery cookies you’d find in Japan, especially since they’re made with matcha and miso. Decorate them as you please, and be sure to share the cookies with friends and loved ones! Note you’ll need a piping bag and a star tip to pipe cookie wreaths. You can, of course, also pipe them out as Christmas trees. This recipe is excerpted from Modern Asian Baking at Home by Kat Lieu

Thick and Cakey Hojicha and Miso Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe by Kat Lieu

Confession time! I’ve never been much of a cookie person until I made gigantic monster cookies, like the monster matcha miso cookies in my cookbook, Modern Asian Baking at Home. My verdant and gigantic cookies became an obsession. By substituting matcha powder with hojicha powder, and sprinkling on some sea salt flakes at the end, I’ve created another addictive cookie to obsess over: thiccc and cakey hojicha and miso chocolate chip cookies. I recommend not skipping the miso as it gives the cookies an additional pop of umami. Happy baking!
