If you're reading this, then you're probably one of the millions of people who recently got hooked to the K-drama thriller Squid Game.

And as you may already know, the famous Korean dalgona cookie plays an important part in the series that we're not going to spoil here for those who haven't seen it yet. *wink*

Even before Squid Game, the dalgona cookie, which is also known as the Korean honeycomb toffee, has already been a big part of Korean culture.

It is sold in the streets and vendors would often play a game with the children who bought them. If the kids are successful in playing the game, they are given a second cookie for free as a reward.

And in case you were wondering, yes, the dalgona cookie or dalgona sponge candy is actually where the trending dalgona coffee of 2020 got its name.

So, without further ado, here's the two-ingredient no-sweat recipe for the Squid Game dalgona cookie shared by TikTokerist @saifshawaf. Grab your cookie cutter and baking sheet and get ready to re-create this famous dessert.
