Going Viral in Korea Right Now! What Is the Dubai Chewy Cookie?

What Is the Dubai Chewy Cookie?

One of the hottest desserts in Korea right now is the Dubai Chewy Cookie. The outer layer is made from melted marshmallow mixed with cocoa powder, creating a soft and chewy texture. Inside, you’ll find a crunchy combination of kataifi pastry and pistachio spread, giving the cookie a rich contrast of textures. Packed with pistachios and indulgent flavors, it’s the kind of dessert that looks delicious at first glance — a truly guilty-pleasure sweet.


After being spotted on social media and shared by Korean idols, the Dubai Chewy Cookie quickly gained massive attention and is now widely known as “the most wanted dessert in Korea right now.”



Why Is It So Hard to Get?

The Dubai Chewy Cookie is not mass-produced. It is sold in limited quantities at only a small number of cafes, which makes it especially hard to find.

Because of this:

  • People often line up before stores open
  • Even on weekdays, many shops sell out by late morning
  • Many visitors leave empty-handed after being told it’s already sold out


As a result, it has become one of the most difficult desserts to get in Korea.

At this point, it feels like a dessert where “If you get one, you’re lucky,” and even waiting in line has become part of the experience.



About Overseas Purchase and Shipping Requests

Due to its popularity, we’ve recently received more inquiries from overseas, such as:

“Can you purchase Dubai Chewy Cookies on my behalf?”

“Is it possible to ship them internationally?”

While we completely understand the interest, we’re unfortunately unable to ship food items internationally due to the high risk of spoilage.


Want to Try It?

If you really want to try the Dubai Chewy Cookie, the best option is to visit Korea and enjoy it in person. You can even turn it into a fun café tour — visiting different shops and comparing flavors. I’ve personally tried several versions, and the taste and texture vary a lot depending on the café.

If you get the chance, be sure to try it fresh in Korea and find your favorite one!
