    I just made these cookies following the recipe 100% and I cannot describe how good they are using human language. The spiciness is really kind of tertiary to the rest of the flavors - the gochujang is sweet, salty, umami, a little sour/fermented, and that makes for amazing caramel flavor. the spice/chili flake flavor just kinda like... fills in the gaps.

    As a Korean at first I was freaked out because I've never thought about using gochujang for desserts...and then after watching this video I realized this idea certainly makes sense because sweets and spices together never go wrong🤔

    Eric did a great job with this recipe. These were a big hit. The cookie he came up with without the gochujang is amazing. he didn’t just add it to some eh cookie. Also I didn’t feel like baking directly after making the dough so I formed the dough into a tube shape, wrapped it in waxed paper and refrigerated it for later. I sliced off pieces as I wanted to bake them. Worked great.

    I agree with Eric that gochujang is sometimes too sweet, but it's perfect for a cookie.

    I have never heard of gochujang before this recipe but I was going through my condiments and realized I unknowingly use gochujang all the time. I have Mother In Law’s fermented chile paste concentrate and I only noticed yesterday the back says “our signature gochujang”. So I just tried these today and didn’t even have to go to the store, so easy and delicious, will definitely be a cookie for the end of the year/beginning of the new year! Thanks for sharing.

    My partner made these for a holiday party and I was skeptical (when I think of the flavor of gochujang I always team it with garlic - and it was hard to separate that intellectually taste wise). But the result is a rich caramel that has a subtle heat akin to a warming spice. Also they look like thin pretty planets with like that Mars red swirl! Try them, its a very solid cookie!

    I want to try the gochujang swirl technique but with an almond cookie recipe as a base. A peanut butter cookie base would work well too, but I think having a more simplistic base is better for bringing out the caramel tones. This is a fantastic idea and I can't wait to experiment with it myself!

      I tried a couple of cookies with dark chocolate added. They were deeply satisfying. If you go that route, I recommend the super-dark vaguely sweet chocolate. There's enough sugar in the cookie to carry it just fine.
