Korean ginger cookies ("maejakgwa":매작과)

[@Maangchi]

Thank you! I have many cameramen and camerawomen. They are my friends, family, and my readers. Sometimes I hire them.

[@Maangchi]

"I crush them fine and actually mixed them into the dough .." You must be a great cook! Thank you for sharing the tip!

[@pdgray668]

My Mom used to make this exact thing when we were little (in Bangladesh)! The only difference is that she used to twist the two ends instead of bringing one end though the loop, and she didn't use ginger. These would taste even better with ginger!

[@mollymalli8857]

I love to watch you on you tube. I love Korean food but can't eat by mouth nowadays, have to use the feeding tube through the belly but I still keep watching your shows especially the soups ,so I can blend them in the blender and feed myself.i can't taste anything that way but the aroma gets me going. thank you Maangchi. I have seen you in many hairdos and styles but I have to say you look your best in this style, on this video and I know it's more than 10 years ago but I just watched it today since I can't eat cookies.

[@jangseongyang7083]

I cooked this yesterday, successfull! And it it became my favourite snacks! I did it with ginger powder, next time I will try with fresh ginger juice. Thanks Maanchi!

[@Maangchi]

yum! : ) Congratulations!

[@blueyonderbird]

We make these sweets in Eastern India too. We call them Gawja - Traditionally we use cardamom flavour instead of ginger :-) They are delicious!

[@bubbles02010]

oh wow cool! cookie in Korean is actually "gwaja"!

[@blueyonderbird]

Really? That's incredible! Thanks for letting me know :)

[@uncle30boy]

actually korean is really similar to Tamil.

[@Tamar1973]

I appreciated that you showed people three different options for making these yummy desserts!

[@mollymalli8857]

This particular ginger cookies is a labor of love. I am sure iit tastes delicious. It's fun to watch you. you are a happy person and beautiful inside and out. don't stop making the cooking dos.

[@lotuschuki]

Wow ! I thought you are making Tibetan "Khabse". My mom always make it during Tibetan New Year " Losar" I grew up , seeing her making this for tea snacks & during Tibetan new year. Thank you. You remind me of my mom! Looks delicious :) You are an angel cook!

[@yoyomax12]

They are so delicate and pretty! I love the cutting and folding technique, wonderful!

[@C0C0B0S]

It is alot of work...but well worth it! It's a hit at parties (its sorta like that slogan, "you can't eat just one" kinda dessert hehe). Filipinos have a similar recipe also (in my family its known as "cascaron"). Everything is almost the same except for the "ribbon"shaping. Instead of the precise rectangle shape, my mom just goes with a diamond shape w/ one slit then fold...then just a plain sugar syrup. Will try adding cinnamon/pinenut and adding ginger juice to the dough next time.

[@thereseandresen8666]

This was really exciting to see because we make traditional cookies for Christmas that are folded the same way :3 All across the world they make something almost the same way! ^-^ I will try to make this, it looks tasty!

[@리도나-e4v]

'매작과' 명절에 가족들이 모두 모여 만들어 먹는 과자!~♥ 이번 추석에 가족들과 만들어야 겠어요. - 생강, 계피에 시럽의 달콤함이 바삭바삭~ (최고의 레시피입니다) 저는 더 두껍고 칼집도 3개가 아니라 1개만 해서 뒤집었거든요

[@akira1983x]

hi Maangchi, I've been waiting for so long for someone to show me how to make this. I'm going to make this for my parents when they come back from malaysia. many thanks

[@Maangchi]

@EnglishCupcake omg, I'm so happy to hear that! Cheers! : )

[@elizabethpaschall179]

I love these ginger cookies

[@looke888]

WOW Maangchi, you must have a ton of patience to meausre, cut and twist all of those cookies!! They look so delicious! If the box of cookies isn't spoken for..i know someone who might like it *cough* *cough* haha i love your videos! they mkae my day, keep them coming!

[@FaeTigre]

My mum actually made this before. She said her mum used to make it. (We're Libyan). I thought about this for a while, then said COOL! ^_^ Even though we're like half a planet apart our countries share some similar foods except I don't think it had ginger.

[@hawwanathiya2669]

Oh wow..We have the same recipe in tamilnadu that is southern part of india and we call it inji kothu paniyaram that is"ginger bunch cookies" ...

[@elmadas]

ohhhh, we do rouhgly the same in Italy!!! we call it rosoni (big roses) or chiacchiere (small talk). it's an ancient carnival sweet from roman times. thank you

[@JustHereToHear]

Love the way she talks to the dough 😊

[@Karaisoke]

So 3 tablespoons of ginger and I put them in a box so I have a present for myself in the morning and everyone will leave them alone. YEEESSSSS

[@jramsingh3895]

[@Caramelle22]

[@iaccik]

Hi! Maangchi I love your channel and Korean food very much!!!! We all hope we can see more and more videos from you!!!!! Well done!!!! Keep the great work!!! We all love you so much!!!!

[@Maangchi]

@bbAnna I usually finish eating it within a week. Happy cooking!

[@Maangchi]

@KlynKite oh, nice! Thank you very much! Happy New year!

[@hold121]

I make a something quite similar i use cumin (not cumin powder) and a little more salt - i did trys these and they came out yummy will make a new batch for myself to eat on chirstmas day.

[@wshijie]

aigo....i want to try tis cookie in tis coming weekend.... btw...thanks maangchi for providing us a lots of great korean food recipes....

[@ChickengirlDesign]

That is SO much work!!! Its very admirable to watch :-) Looks very delicious!

[@Maangchi]

I'm touched by what you are saying! You miss your mom's cooking!

[@feyfantome]

We make a similar shaped traditional cookie in Norwegian tradition: Fattigman Bakkel, but we only make a single slit and twist it a couple times to resemble wrought iron. We also fry those cookies.

[@AshleyLimFangRu]

Think this is an underrated cookie

[@TheRivalConcept]

I really want to make this for my art/바둑 teacher. He let me borrow one of this boards to play 오목 ( 5 in a Row) with my husband haha but i havent given the board back its been a month so I really think it would be nice to make this for him, he is 65 yr old Korean Grandpa heheh...but such a kind guy :)

[@Maangchi]

@hullalaw great news! Happy cooking!

[@runnenarun]

one of my favorite recipes, make it whenever I need to make a special gift

[@Do94ubleG]

its not as hard as it looks btw, i've tried it, its actually fun to make i enjoyed it n ofcourse it tastes amazing

[@SaudiaTate]

recipe looks yummy and I like the choice of Stevie Wonder in the background!! 😉👏🏽

[@Maangchi]

@VampyLuLu yes, ginger powder will work well. Not too much though.

[@Maangchi]

@mickz1727 wow, you must be good at cooking!

[@hyesunpark4231]

Next time, you may wanna try to cut the dough with a pizza slicer. That will be much easier than kitchen knife.

[@kimthomas226]

10년전부터 유튭을 하셨다니 놀랍습니다.

[@bigfoot32194]

looks very delecious and talk about tedious cutting and folding all the ribbons but it pays off at the end thx fur the upload!!

[@Maangchi]

@pyroprince78 I don't know the answer but why don't you do some experiments?

[@filencia105]

@Maangchi thank youu maangchi. youre awesomeee.

[@PinochleFrog]

those are so intricate WOW i never wanna put that much effort into #cookies ...

[@9aspengold5]

I was thinking the same. A long ruler and a Pizza Cutter would make this stage go so quickly and probably more accurate.

[@maraskywalkeriii]

Love the T and arm warmers!

[@meramshoju2161]

Hello maangchi! These cookies were so good! Can you show us how to make yakgwa?

[@lilitavalujeva5599]

In Latvia we make something similar. But with condensed milk.

[@Maangchi]

@pabodongsaeng oh, it's homemade pomegranate tea.

[@kekejujube]

this recipe is very much like the traditional italian cookies my grandmother makes for the holidays! instead of ginger, the italian version uses anise flavoring, or almond extract. try that sometime, if youd like. they arent too sweet, and thats what i like about them. thanks for this video! you look so cute with your arm warmers on, btw. :>

[@devotchka16]

i am definitely making these for my friend for Christmas! thanks for the great idea Maangchi! :D:D

[@allicens]

I LOVE THEM i just made them. they are so good.

[@sinicide1015]

Still awesome!

[@primal10]

Dear Maangchi, I don't think that this is authentically Korean because I see a lot of Chinese and Vietnamese people make this as well with almost exactly the same recipe. I went to China and I found a stall that prepared this. Also on my visit to Vietnam I saw the exact same thing too. Maybe I am wrong, but I think that just like the egg roll many Asian cultures have their way of making things such as this cookie. =)

[@gkzutto]

Ok I'm seriously craving to try those now haha.

[@yessk561]

I already discovered your channel, and I love it!!! Congratulation!!!!

[@izobal]

its seems a really good and cute recipe (lots of work though) thank you very much!

[@Maangchi]

@lazarte89 You can skip it. It will still be delicious.

[@Maangchi]

@artyimages It's homemade pomegranate tea.

[@mayrabel1]

we have the same cookies in north africa it's called Griwech or Chabakia" but without ginger we put butter and 1 egg and if we want we add sesame seed , all the other steps are the same, in Algeria we have an other design more difficult the shape may have till 10 parts if you want watch this video : 1- watch?v=xSB4DZpnumw 2- watch?v=rh1e_akucx8&feature=related

[@YJBang]

when i was young i ate this a lot!!! i will try myself oneday

[@orsie200]

You are so precise in all your cooking methods. Who taught you to cook?

[@devotchka16]

those cookies that your grandma makes, what are they called?!?! i have been looking for a recipe for those for FOREVER and this is as close as i've found.

[@noorgareh7557]

You are an amazing chef🌷🌷👍👍

[@momof2momof2]

Such a lovely gift !

[@TheJedikai]

aigo! haha-- I love you and I love your videos. Don't know why but I get excited and happy when I watch your videos. ^_^

[@Maangchi]

@RawkStarrPrincess Thank you for the compliment! : )

[@eggjoe122]

Wow, i bet these are delicious.

[@PeppermintMoriGirl]

Haha I'm a decent cook. I wouldn't say great but thanks very much for the compliment! Means a lot! :D By the way, my whole family thought these cookies were great. So I'll be trying your other recipes very soon!

[@mehdan2]

Pinenuts ! My favorite choice

[@Maangchi]

@ElementalMisshap oh, its homemade pomegranate tea! : )

[@Maangchi]

@catalinaturcanu1 You can use chopped walnuts or peanuts

[@Gamebito]

This takes alot of time and patience! Guess everyone in the house will have to help! :D

[@Maangchi]

@Chorongi It's 'Superstition' by Stevie Wonder ^^

[@anabuchting1229]

Gracias por tus deliciosas recetas y tu cultura. Me las imaginó mus sabrosas con el jengibre. Probaré a hacerlas!!

[@bluebomber81]

Looks like a lot of work, but the ribbons do look nice. I'd love to see people like you and VahChef have some shows on Food Network. Unfortunately too much of that channel is about another meat loaf recipe, cakes you can't even eat, or if you've ever seen Sandra Lee, a woman who doesn't really make anything at all except an alcoholic drink for every meal of the day lol. I appreciate your videos and your recipes. Thank you for sharing :)

[@MzCAGOMEA]

Those look really good!

[@iamtheawes0me]

I seen similar cookies made in the drama "Yi San." I'm not too fond of ginger, but those cookies look good!

[@Maangchi]

@iaccik Thanks a lot!

[@sowmyarj6366]

In India we use cumin seeds n chilli powder .... another powder sugar we mix with dough n cut into different shape n deep fry it n Enjoy

[@momof2momof2]

These are like Polish Kruschiki

[@viktoriakasekuchen6996]

momof2 yeah and it also reminds me of something my mom used to do. We call it kreble in russian

[@Baiami26]

true, in my family we call them "faworki".

[@RassimaTatizhanova]

Привет, спасибо за рецепт, я совсем недавно начала смотреть твои видео, нравится всё. Просьба добавить русские субтитры.

[@mingrae0527]

i just made this and it's so yummy! but can you please tell me how long will it stay crunchy? thank you very much! Merry Christmas Maangchi! God bless!

[@punkonthis]

So yummy looking!

[@delicatebiscuit]

Ohhhh, I love these things! Thank you for making a how-to video! OHHHHH, they look so good. :D~ P.S. You are so cute! lol

[@devotchka16]

oh my goodness, these look amazing!!!

[@Maangchi]

@9HereticPrincess9 thanks! : )

[@aratoho]

Those look really good....I'm not gonna go through the trouble of making them look all pretty though haha. I'll just use a cookie cutter

[@Maangchi]

@michelle88pooh of course you can skip it. : )

[@pabodongsaeng]

the cookie looks amazing to eat! plus, it's cold here, i think ginger is good to eat.. it can warm me up right? =) maangchi onnie, what tea did you have? looks very interesting~

[@Maangchi]

@akira1983x hope your maejakgwa turns out great and get some compliments from your parents!

[@sasamijurai27]

I bet these would go great with sikhye, Su jung gwa, Matcha ice cream or with milk tea :)

[@Xmonicanguyen]

I LOVE IT can you please make more videos more often? :)

[@pernanjp]

These would be great at a party.

[@CheesyMcK]

Aigo! How did you manage to make that recipe and not get any flour on your black arm warmers?! lol Amazing!

[@filencia105]

maangchi. can you show us how to make the fish cakes side dishes and the raw spicy crab side dishes? i dont know what it called. but theyre really good.

[@pyroprince78]

would it be possible, maangchi, to bake the cookies (instead of frying) before pouring the syrup, to cut down on the fat? it looks soooo delicious, but i'm thinking about making this as a special treat for someone who is VERY health conscious. :)

[@Tigerprincess-q4e]

I love your shirt Maangchi, it's so cute! ^_^
