What is Dubai Chewy Cookie and Why is it Trending?

The Dubai Chewy Cookie is emerging as a next-generation dessert trend, particularly in South Korea.

It is also referred to as “dubai cookie” and in some cases “dubai mochi”, due to its soft, stretchy, mochi-like interior texture.

By combining a chewy base with crispy roasted shredded kadayif, it creates a distinctive texture contrast and visual appeal.

Viral Growth in Korea: Influencers and Cafés

The trend is driven by:

• Boutique cafés positioning it as a signature dessert

• Limited production creating demand

• Viral content formats:

  • break & reveal videos

  • crispy texture close-ups

  • molten fillings

This has positioned it as a must-try dessert in Korea.

At the Core: Roasted Kadayif
