Chestnut Cookies (Yul-lan: 율란)

[@maggie2936-q1m]

When I was in Korea 35 years ago, I’d buy these little chestnut cookies from street vendors. Very delicious, esp in the wintertime; they were fresh and hot! Wonderful memories!

[@Maangchi]

Thanks for sharing!

[@dorothyelizabeth1559]

Just made it again today. My back is aching! The last time I made this, everyone liked it and ate it all. This time I made a lot lot more. 2.5 hours of peeling, mashing and grinding the chestnuts but! But!! Now I’m sat down with my green matcha milk and a plateful of heaven! Totally worth it!

[@Maangchi]

Great job! 👏

[@lulinasser]

This is the best cookie ever! I'll try making it for my grandmother. These chestnuts are her favourite in the world. Thank you for sharing your kitchen wisdom with us, Maangchi!

[@dorothyelizabeth1559]

I have just made them. If anyone wants to try it - be sure to use a very deep pestle and mortar. I think I need a coarser sieve. Now, I’m going to have my very late lunch, coffee and a couple of those cookies.

[@Maangchi]

Wonderful!

I have 2 American Chestnut trees and they produce buckets of seeds every year. Always looking for interesting recipes. Really enjoy Chestnut soup. One suggestion. put a small slice or X into the raw Chestnut with a knife, then boil. The hull and skin will come off easily. It doesn't ruin the meat.

[@alevusmanzade8543]

in Malaysia, we cook chestnut in a hot wok filled with coffee beans and stir fry until it turns dark... taste so delicious... 😉

[@ams30393]

if u put them in that mortar and light crush it the shell opens n u peel easily so that u get the whole nut out. or u can put the in the oven for 30-40 seconds, the shell opens up n u take out a whole nut. scooping out with a spoon is leaving some in the shell. thats the African way girl.

Yullan (율란) sounds like such a cute name for a child. I'm sorry if that's weird. I think is so adorable. Hahaha. I want to try this recipe

[@nicajoiz]

Eunmi Strange I had a Korean student before named Yullan. I thought of her when I was watching this video. :)

[@wolfiesownx4893]

@Eunmi Strange: That’s not weird. It’s a known Chinese name, meaning Beautiful Lotus Flower 😍

[@richardnguyen6051]

Been watching your videos for over 6 years.. to know you are still making videos is a good feeling. Watching this one brought a smile to my face :)!

[@ezechielbiosfear]

I love chestnuts ! They are very traditional for christmas here. We soak them in water for an hour, then boil them in salt water for 6 minutes. Then cut a cross in the shell and rost them in the oven for 25 minutes at 200°C.

[@dorothyelizabeth1559]

Yay!!!!! I absolutely love chestnuts! I have two bags of chestnuts in the kitchen and will make these sweets tomorrow!! Can’t wait!!

[@PrideDefiler]

I read up about Yulan. It was actually part of the Korean Royal Palace recipe as King's snack or dessert. [열매나 여러 과일을 엿이나 꿀과 함께 약한 불에 졸인 다음 그 과일 본래의 모양으로 다시 만들어놓은 과자를 숙실과라 하는데, 찐 밤을 꿀과 함께 졸인 율란이 대표적이다. 원래 궁중의 수랏간 나인들이 임금에게 올리기 위한 간식으로 만들었다.] Wow!

[@tiraluvr941]

Cutest chef on youtube hands down! The Best recipes, i want to try them all! 😝

[@rial1568]

tiraluvr941 me too. All her foods looks sooooo good amd delicius😢😢😢

[@Xae_in_a_Coat]

Agreed...

[@supershigi]

Ahh, these cookies are so cute!! The combination of chestnuts and the honey-cinnamon-salt mixure sounds delicious^^ You always have such fun recipes for us, Maangchi!

[@Shafiqueullah]

korean recipes will never end

[@sethtamwood5202]

Going back through some older videos to see recipes I'd like to make someday again. Reminded of how much I wanted to try these ages ago, and that has only increased as time has gone on.

[@Maangchi]

One of my viewers submitted Korean caption! Thank you so much!

[@msyin9]

This is fabulous, especially for those who have to stay away from gluten! This is one to try. If you have any more traditional no bake or no wheat dessert ideas, please share with us. Love it!

[@alixmeek8478]

I made these! They are so delicious and very healthy for 'cookies'. I used rice syrup instead of honey as I am vegan. Also I didn't use fresh chestnuts so it was really hard to force them through the sieve. But worth it :)

[@Jason-mf3rt]

Just put the chestnuts in an electric blender and you won't need to put them through the sieve. They come out so fine & it's done in an instant.

[@Rikohness]

I always see chestnuts at the asian grocery store and I always wanted to get them, but I never knew how they are supposed to be prepared. Thank you Maangchi for uploading this video, I will buy some next time I go grocery shopping and I'll try this recipe.

[@Maangchi]

I'm very glad to hear that. Actually many of my friends don't know how to cook chestnuts.

[@MissGenXr]

We have a chestnut tree in our yard. I'm going to make these cookies. Thank you!!!

[@Maangchi]

aliz submitted Hungarian caption! Thank you so much, aliz!

[@odettebrock9753]

I made it and it was amazing. Thank you for this recipe. Love it.

[@Maangchi]

Wonderful!

[@laurataft9005]

What a healthy way to cook, love watching your videos. Will try these, no bake sounds good to me, especially in summer heat.

[@MamaBearBlue22]

I love your personality and your traditional cooking methods! !♡♥♡♥

[@jokerester]

Me and my little sister love watching you Maangchi!

[@alexasmith6473]

This is pure art, Maangchi! I felt u were in a meditation making the cookies, I got so relaxed. I glean so much by watching u cook and teach and talk and create. and nourish... 💝💕💞. Happy Solstice

[@Maangchi]

Thank you! Cheers!

Had a hankering for chestnuts and knew exactly where to head to! I didn’t have fresh chestnuts but had vacuum packed cooked ones in the pantry. Yum yum!

[@imnotfromhere]

Even though I'm not a big fan of chestnuts, I'll give these a try when winter rolls around :)

[@bijayath7608]

maangchi looks so cute with the cute little cookies.

[@JozieLeePro]

You're awesome. Great looking cookies. Simple recipe. Will give them a try.

[@1307]

these seem like a healthier dessert than regular cookies... no butter, no sugar.

[@HTJournals]

I just finished chestnut picking in Korea. this video is perfect

[@NannannanSJN]

쉬워보이지만, 맛은 엄청 있을꺼 같아요ㅎㅎㅎ 나중에 친구들과 potluck 할때 만들어봐야겠어요ㅎㅎ 미국온지 얼마 안돼서, 파티갈때 뭘 가져가야 친구들이 좋아할지 모르겠네요ㅠ 동영상 잘 보고있습니다^^ 감사합니다.

[@김고양-r2y]

저도 밤 까먹는거 정말 좋아하는데 ㅠㅜ 이런 간식이 있는줄 몰랐어요!! 율란이라고 해서 중국느낌이라고 생각했는데 우리나라 전통음식일줄이야~ㅎㅎ 너무 맛있어보여요 오븐없이 간단히 할수있어서 더 좋은 것 같아요 좋은 비디오 감사합니다!

[@Maangchi]

아우, 귀여워요! : )

[@Sh3lli3R]

I love watching your videos!! I write down all the name of the recipe I want to try when I visit somewhere that may serve them 😊

[@Maangchi]

Happy cooking!

[@chefkendranguyen]

Very interesting, and it looks tasty. Thanks.

[@behpable]

I love chestnuts can't wait to try this. You should try eating them roasted in the oven! In winters I always make them this way, just cut them half way in to make a dent and put them in the oven. Then you can peel the skin off easily and it tastes amazing.

[@hazyjellyfish54eva]

Hi Maangchi! I'm a Malaysian Chinese, and I do often eat chestnuts! Usually my mom would cook them by boiling them. We usually take of the skin by bitting/tearing them. Haha.. I've never thought of cutting it open and scoop it out xP We put chestnuts in rice dumplings too! :D

[@CookingFromVenus]

I am a Chinese American, my mom used to do the same way with chestnuts.(•ˆ⌣ˆ•)

[@wolfmama619]

awesome job! :) I love your videos

[@Ladylasil]

Those look delicious. I have never had a chestnut but I am going to buy some when I see them in the store. I will try with the honey and also try Carrion Smile's suggestion and try with maple syrup too. Is the green tea powder an instant tea? Both styles I want to try :o)
