Less sweet than Dubai chocolate, QQ chewy like mochi, and hard to get.
If you’ve seen the videos on TikTok this year, that stretchy cocoa-dusted ball is the Dubai chewy cookie or dujjonku. Korea invented it in early 2025, K-pop idol Jang Wonyoung posted one, and the rest is sellout queues and pistachio shortages. Taipei and Thailand caught on not long after.
I bought 8 from All Things Good in Taipei.
What is Dubai Chocolate Cookie?
Same filling as Dubai chocolate, pistachio cream and toasted kataifi (shredded phyllo dough, used frequently in middle easter desserts), but the chocolate shell is swapped out for a marshmallow shell, dusted with cocoa. The outside is tacky and QQ, closer to mochi than anything cookie-like. Less sweet than Dubai chocolate, which is the whole point for me. Dubai chocolate tips into sugar overload. This one doesn’t.
Where to get Dubai Chocolate Cookie
All Things Good, Taipei. Buying a few makes sense, one isn’t enough and they travel well as a gift. The NYT covered it recently too, if you need more convincing. You’ll need to message them to schedule a time for pick-up to avoid the lines. One cookie costs 150NTD.
You can also make it at home. No baking needed, just marshmallows, pistachio cream, and kataifi.
Taste: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Texture: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (i would make them smaller)
Sweetness: ⭐️⭐️ (this is good!)
I bought mine from All Things Good by messaging them on Instagram. See the full vlog here.
