These are normal cookies: wheat flour, real sugar, the works. The ones with the weird corners had spread out into the corners of the small baking trays I use in my small oven. I can slap on about eight cookies per large tray. In my small, square trays, I can barely fit five dollops of dough, and as the cookies bake, they all start to spread into each other.

On Lunar New Year's (Tuesday, but the holiday starts tomorrow/Monday), I'll go around to different places in my building, doling out packages of cookies in pairs: one regular cookie and one ketoish, almond-flour cookie (real chocolate chips, but almond flour instead of wheat flour and Truvia instead of regular sugar). The almond-flour cookies will be soft; the regular cookies will be a mix of textures largely because of the omnipresence of chocolate chips.
I bought little, plastic sleeves/envelopes in which to wrap individual cookies; I hope that gives my gifts a sort of bakery-like feel. Koreans are often weirded out by sudden gifts or gestures from strangers, but the places I'll be visiting on Tuesday are staffed by people who all know me. If all goes well, I'll give you all an update.
