During the Shilla and Goryeo Dynasty, these Korean cookies were served with tea to people of nobility and royalty. These delicate and elegant tea cookies simply melt in your mouth while bringing you the pure flavors of sesame seeds, rice and pollen. Joseon Dynasty records show that when a royal banquet was held, Korean desserts such as Dasik, Yakwa and Gangjeong were all "piled high" (고인다 Goinda) on tables creating an impressive and imposing table. Records show that these towers were as high as 55 centimeters (21+ inches). If you have ever attended a traditional Korean wedding or a 1st birthday (첫돌 Cheotdol) party, then you may still be able to see a table with towers of Korean sweets (although usually now made from fake plastic) stacked ridiculously HIGH!!   So, how is Dasik made? It's pretty simple really...
