맛동산 for Kwang Bok Jul

15th of August is Independence Day or National Liberation Day in Korea.
After the second World War, the Korean Peninsula was liberated by the Allies in 1945.
Independent Korean governments were created three years later, on August 15, 1948, when the pro-U.S. Syngman Rhee was elected first President of South Korea and pro-Soviet Kim Il-sung was made first Leader of North Korea.

This time I tried something I never did before. A challenging recipe so to speak, but really satisfying.
These Matdongsan (or Korean peanut cookies) are delicious and worth trying.
You can find them at pretty much any Korean grocery store or on Amazon, but I bet you 'll try them at home...


Right before they enter the oven for second bake...
 Finished version (baptised in syrup & roasted peanuts)
