Matcha Green Tea and Omija Cookies (Dasik)
Description
This recipe includes two variations: the green tea cookie uses roasted rice flour, powdered sugar, a pinch of sea salt, matcha green tea powder, honey, and water to form a pliable dough. The omija tea cookie combines rice flour, powdered sugar, honey, and a brewed concentrate of omija tea, giving it its signature five-flavor berry taste and red color.
Both doughs are mixed until they begin to clump, then shaped into balls and pressed into molds coated lightly with sesame oil to prevent sticking. The cookies dry quickly due to the lack of oil, resulting in a crisp and slightly crumbly texture with distinct tea flavors.
Dasik is commonly enjoyed alongside tea, serving as a lightly sweet alternation that pairs well with traditional Korean tea ceremonies or a quiet snack. Their gentle sweetness and subtle flavors provide a contrast to bitter or strong teas.
Additional notes include instructions on making roasted rice flour at home by cooking, drying, roasting, and grinding rice, or substituting with commercially available roasted soybean or mung bean flours. Storage in airtight containers in the fridge is recommended due to their fast drying. Alternative teas such as hibiscus can be used for the omija cookie. Light-colored honey preserves the dough’s visual appeal. If dryness occurs, adding a touch more liquid or coating cookies with sesame oil can restore moisture.

How to use PieCrust Cutters to make Dasik
- If you don't have a Dasik mold, you can easily use PieCrust Cutters. Lightly coat your work surface with sesame oil then either roll out the dough or just flatten with your fingers. Make it quite thick so it doesn't break. Then press the cutter into the rolled out dough and cut shapes out.
Make Dasik cookies with Dasik mold
- Raise Dasik mold frame and fill the mold with green tea or omija dough. Press down evenly and fill the mold completely. When filled, press the mold frame down to expose the dasik cookies. Gently pick up each cookie from the mold. See my video for details.
Notes
- Roasted rice flour can be homemade by cooking rice with minimal water, roasting it in a pan, and grinding to a powder.
- Substitute commercially available roasted soybean or mung bean flour if desired.
- Store cookies in airtight containers in the refrigerator as they dry quickly without oil.
- Hibiscus tea can replace omija tea for similar flavor and color.
- Adding extra liquid or coating with sesame oil helps prevent cookies from becoming too dry.
- Use light-colored honey to maintain cookie color.
