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.
I just made these last night nd they are so delicious. You can tell theres a little bite but its not overpowering. I love heat but my hubby doesnt so it was a perfect amount. My family loved them. Ill definitely making these again.
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 made these the day the recipe came out - they were SO good. I will definitely make these over and over again The gochujang taste really works. It just gives things a small kick but it doesn't overpower. And they're sooooo chewy
These cookies look stunning! I agree with Eric that gochujang is sometimes too sweet, but it's perfect for a cookie. Also, the story about his mom bringing out Grandma's gochujang for his dad was just lovely.
Just when I think literally EVERY great cookie idea has been invented, Eric comes along. What a charmer and I CANNOT WAIT to add these to my cookie box! Thanks for Cookie Week NYT Cooking! It's my favorite time of the year.
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🤔
The concept of this cookie rivals Solha's evil genius mind, thank you Eric these look awesome!! Fun color, simple recipe, and unique taste, I'm trying these out this week!
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.
Wow! Thank you Eric! The cookies came out perfectly and my Korean American kids (6 & 8 yo) who won't even eat kimchee, gleefully chomped these down. I also did the gochujang swirl after chilling for 5-7 minutes and then chilled some more.
i made these cookies and they are the most scrumptious cookies i’ve made!!! the texture is divine! made a chocolate chip version because my friend was skeptical and just wanted a normal chocolate cookie but the texture on the gochujang cookie was superior. highly highly recommend!!!
I made this recipe last night *chef's kiss* it's really good. I was shocked that you could use gochujang in a cookie 🤯 the texture of the cookie itself is amazing. Crisp edges and chewy center. Absolute perfection. The taste is sweet with a touch of heat. Love it!!
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!
Oh, I already love the combination of peanut butter & gochujang in savory foods but that sounds like a good combo for cookies as well, thanks for the idea! 🍪🍪🍪
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 made these this week and brought them to the office. They were very popular and got many compliments. Easy recipe even for someone who almost never bakes anything
These sound so fun! And now I totally want to add really dark chocolate to a half batch of these and see how the flavors pop! (They sound amazing as they are, I just love that kind of spicy-chocolate contrast.)
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.
This recipe looks amazing - thank you for sharing the recipe. Also - this episode made me smile Eric's stories and way of presenting gave my day a lift. I'm definitely going to be making these!
you made me speechless it is really good i never had gochujang in cookies it is new and surprisingly amazing. The taste was wild and new among my friends and family. I love it. Thank you for sharing.
I heard that someone at work made these and brought them in on my day off - and now I needed to research and found you and this amazing recipe - will be making very soon!!!
I learned this trick for quick room temp butter from emmymade here on UA-cam: flatten the cold butter into a thin layer with a rolling pin, or squishing it with your hand over the butter paper, and leave it at room temp. It’ll soften in 10-15 minutes!
I have stop myself from making these cookies. They are addictive. I normally don't even have those ingredients in my country but I now buy gochujang paste when I travel abroad. These are goooood.
@@Broke_Potato_ Yes it will but it's not a dominant taste. It's dominated by the gochujang. It probably brings a depth of flavor but you don't actually taste it.
Thank you Eric. Your expertise and enthusiasm always inspire us to try a different direction and explore the unknown. Great recipe. Happy Holidays and all the best in 2023. #Cookies #EricKim #NYTimesCooking #Baler
Everything about this brilliant! Eric is delightful, the cookies look and sound amazing, and the story about Eric’s grandma’s govhujang was so special. ❤
I have made these a few times and they are jut so,delicious and unique! I have a friend coming next week who is GF so we will make these with KA 1:1 gluten free flour. I cannot wait!
The first time i saw gochujang in a cookie is from Eugene from the Try Guys Without a recipe series lol glad to see a legit cookie recipe with gochujang
Printed up this recipe which says 1 teaspoon of vanilla but on this video it looks like Eric is using a TABLESPOON? Had one at a party and am making as they are INCREDIBLE!! the spiciness level is very subtle but perfect!
Have just made these today for the first time, after having the video saved to my "to make" list for awhile. I haven't sampled one at yet (self- control much 😉) but I already know I'm going to love them based on the cookie batter taste and the baking smells in my house right now 😂.
Brown sugar caramel toffee and toasted butter are some of the most sacred cookie flavors in the universe…… Lol “it’s really important that you add the right amount of flour… well I’m not gonna say how much because I have a scale” hahahahaha thanks good to know
@EricKim what brand of gochujang did you use in the video? There are so many different brands - and each brand has a slightly different flavor and spice level. Would love to know what brand you're using for this particular recipe. TY!❤

🤩WOW
Honestly, exactly that. They are amazing!!!
It's criminal that we don't get to see the reactions of everyone trying each other's cookies!
ROBBED
Its a shame!
agreed
Eric is so warm and endearing. Him knowing which cookies everyone made was a truly wholesome moment. Eric is just a walking, breathing hug.😂❤
Awww, the story of his grandma’s gochujang is so sweet.
Stopped to buy the gochujang after work and made these tonight with my kiddo. OMG. Blew my mind. 😋

can confirm we made them and they taste great!
Ooohh I gotta make these!

I'm thinking of doing cookie and treat boxes this year, and obviously will be including a few from the NYT Cooking section.
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🤔
Yo a human being I was freaked out.
I mean gochujang is used for the sauce in yangyeom chicken. And that's delicious af 😋
the other day I put a little gochujang on a girl scouts dulce de leche owl and sprinkled it with ginger sea salt. it was my favorite treat ever.
@@calvinvaillancourt1398 I shall try it out
@@calvinvaillancourt1398 genius
The concept of this cookie rivals Solha's evil genius mind, thank you Eric these look awesome!! Fun color, simple recipe, and unique taste, I'm trying these out this week!
could you have an update here if you end up trying to make these
i’m intrigued too but hesitant to try for several reasons
tia! ❤
#SaveSoil #ConsciousPlanet 🌸
@@ZTZTZTZTZTZT Have you made them yet? I made them yesterday.
I would die for a Solha equivalent to this cookie. The cookies she's been making for this series haven't ticked the evil genius box, imho
This video was great. He had a great screen presence. Very chill and warm.

Just made these and wow! Snickerdoodle meets a mild warmth of spice. Sorta an intensified cinnamon taste. So good!

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!
As a Korean, I wouldn’t even put that much sugar in my gochujang. The idea of salty and spicy gochujang in my sweet, buttery cookie?!!! GENIUS!!
I made these last Christmas, and WOW they were amazing. I highly recommend people make these!
I made these this week and brought them to the office. They were very popular and got many compliments.
Easy recipe even for someone who almost never bakes anything
I'm a true Camp Stop-adding-gochujang-to-everything but I can't stop thinking about this recipe... I'm gonna give it a go this weekend
Have made these a couple times, they may just well be my favorite sugar cookie ever now.
The combination itself without even watching the first minute of the video sounds GENIUS!
a loved the giggle in the back when he said „some sugar“
These sound so fun! And now I totally want to add really dark chocolate to a half batch of these and see how the flavors pop! (They sound amazing as they are, I just love that kind of spicy-chocolate contrast.)

the most addicting cookie ever !!!! make this if you know what’s good for u!!!
I think Eric might be one of my new favorite UA-cam chefs ❤
You had me at gochujang
Literally 😂
@@alvinoszavlis6914 Me too!!!!
This will be my ‘gochu’ cookie.

Thank you so much Eric Kim for sharing this delicious recipe..We love these Gochujang caramel cookies .. they are so yummy..
Who’s here thinking of Eugene’s gochujang and dwenjjang cookies from no recipe series?…..!! Eric and eugene are everything!!! 🎉
These cookies are AMAZING and were finished in one sitting. This is going to be a staple.
These are amazing. It seems like a weird combo, but it really works.
I made these last night it was so easy. And they were 10/10. I added dark chocolate to some but the ones without it were my fav
I made them yesterday, and they’re already gone. I think a good name for them is Angry Snickerdoodles. They’re wonderful.
Thank you for your level of enthusiasm and knowledge. Your approach to learning about baking is inspiring.

dudeee, making these. Thanks for the inspo

that seems like a lot of work when you can just put it in the microwave for 10 seconds
I have stop myself from making these cookies. They are addictive. I normally don't even have those ingredients in my country but I now buy gochujang paste when I travel abroad. These are goooood.
I don't have cinnamon powder so will it affect the taste of the cookie if I don't use cinnamon powder?
@@Broke_Potato_ Yes it will but it's not a dominant taste. It's dominated by the gochujang. It probably brings a depth of flavor but you don't actually taste it.
@@FutureCommentary1 Oh yay! Okay, thanks for your reply
Phenomenal. Double the recipe folks. Worth waiting to cool. 🥰👍
My husband loves gochujang and toffee so this sounds like I will need to make this

5:16 - Eric is adorable
This cookie is so good - my friend has made it for me twice. I am in heaven
THIS TASTED AMAZING
Eric Kim and Lucas Sin need to have a series together. Chillest dudes on youtube
Ohhhh man I just bought a jar of gochujang and been itching to use it in everything. Gonna have to try this
the ''my cookie'' thing ia genius it's exactlyy what i need, whenever i need it 🥳🙌👏
Anyone has any idea for other kinds of cookies, using most of this recipe as a base?
That chewy cookie in various flavors/combos would be heavenly.
I have made these a few times and they are jut so,delicious and unique! I have a friend coming next week who is GF so we will make these with KA 1:1 gluten free flour. I cannot wait!
How did they turn out with gluten free flour?
@@nikolmikus1911 She did not end up visiting so I made them with regular AP flour. The neighbors and their guests loved them!
The first time i saw gochujang in a cookie is from Eugene from the Try Guys Without a recipe series lol glad to see a legit cookie recipe with gochujang
I’ve been waiting for this to release.
Printed up this recipe which says 1 teaspoon of vanilla but on this video it looks like Eric is using a TABLESPOON? Had one at a party and am making as they are INCREDIBLE!! the spiciness level is very subtle but perfect!
I would go with a teaspoon. You probably don't want to use a tablespoon of vanilla for such a small batch of cookies.
Totally making these! Thank you
This reminds me of Eugene's cookies from The Try Guys' Without A Recipe series.
This is devilishly genius
These are so amazing!!! I just finished up my first batch, and I'm so glad I made a double. :)
While watching this at night I asked myself if i had all the ingredients mentioned, which I do have, so when I get up it will be crazy cookie time.
This looks sooo good!! So unique too!
I am really excited to try this one.
I make these once a week, a hit in our house
Eric and I AGREE what a good cookie should be ❤❤❤
Genius!
All cookies are great cookies!
These cookies looks SO scrumptious 😋
Have just made these today for the first time, after having the video saved to my "to make" list for awhile. I haven't sampled one at yet (self- control much 😉) but I already know I'm going to love them based on the cookie batter taste and the baking smells in my house right now 😂.
just made these! sooo delicious! grated some mexican hot chocolate blocks on top too 😍 thank you Eric!
My friend brought it for our cookie exchange and it was fireeee !!
I love this idea.
Made these and they were so yum!
cookie week has been delightful
I love gochujang 😩
I'm def making this!!😋
We need that gochujang tshirt!
Brown sugar caramel toffee and toasted butter are some of the most sacred cookie flavors in the universe……
Lol “it’s really important that you add the right amount of flour… well I’m not gonna say how much because I have a scale” hahahahaha thanks good to know
I've just made them, they are so delicious, so unique :)
I feel like this is the kind of cookie try guy Eugene tried to make on their cookie without a recipe episode. This looks much better.
Shirt choice is 🎯
Ohhh my! Delish… ❤❤❤😊
I never ever thought that cookies can be spicy as well. But then we do have tteokbokki flavored snacks in Korea so why not😂
Just made this but used vegan butter and ener G egg replacer, I can't believe how good they came out 😭😭
Am I crazy, or would these ones be ideal for ice cream sandwiches with a rich, but not too sweet, vanilla ice cream?
The usage of gochujang on cookie reminds me of Jangtteok.
Tasted great and easy to
Make
I pity the fool who has not baked these yet- omg SOOOOO good
Oh my goodness, that looks amazing 🤩
@EricKim what brand of gochujang did you use in the video? There are so many different brands - and each brand has a slightly different flavor and spice level. Would love to know what brand you're using for this particular recipe. TY!❤
Members of the Gochujang Gang, please raise your hands 🙋♀️🙋♂️✋
God that looks like the perfect cookie dough
Drooling...
If you don't have ten-year-old Gochujang store-bought is fine
I need that cookie in my life PRONTO!!! ❤
ughhhhhhh I love gochujang, definitely going to make this
Wow! Found the cookie for my work's cookie exchange!
