-
7.Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may appear slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.

Treat your ingredients with care...
- Gochujang paste — Gochujang can vary in spiciness, so adjust the amount according to your preference. Start with 2 tablespoons for a mild heat, and add more if desired.
- Chocolate chips — Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Dark chocolate chips work well with the spicy kick of gochujang.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking.
- If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of gochujang paste or substitute it with a milder chili paste.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain their texture and freshness.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as white chocolate or a mix of dark and milk chocolate, to customize the flavor.
- Serve these cookies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
Serving advice
Serve these Korean-inspired chocolate chip cookies as a sweet treat alongside a cup of hot tea or coffee. They are perfect for sharing with friends and family or enjoying as a comforting snack.
