It sound like you stirred the sugar solution when it boils. Mix sugar and water well in the pot and let it simmer and do not stir until done.
“Place ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water into a pot and bring to a boil over low heat for about 20 minutes. About half of the water should evaporate, so the syrup is nice and thick. “

Hi,i made the syrup and after i have added the cinnamon powder it became like small balls of sugar stuck together instead of becoming a liquid . why did this happen ? :)

Keep them in the refrigerator up to 1 week, or freeze them. If you keep them at room temperature, the cookies will lose their crunch

Chopped cashew sounds great to me. Or skip it as you said. Delicious!

Wow, they look delicious! Do I have to use the pine nuts, can I use like cashew or can I just leave the nuts out? :)

Hi Maangchi!
Because of the restrictions my parents set in our kitchen, i had to make a few adjustments to ur way, but it still came out wonderfully!
- instead of deep-frying, i coated a pan with vegetable oil and baked the cookies at 325 degrees. it came out wonderfully.
- my parents dont let me use sugar too much, so i drizzles the cookies with honey instead!
so for other people to know, baking works too! (sorry.. my parents are complete health nuts and hates it when i deep fry things XD)
