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!

We've all seen sweet potato brownies take over social media, but what you haven't seen yet is this: a vegan, gluten-free purple sweet potato mochi brownie. Yup, you read that right—this is a brownie that breaks all the rules and yet tastes like a dream.

I literally had a dream about these brownies.

And I made them for Kenji Lopez-Alt in my dream.
