Doky

Doky refers to a type of Japanese sweet. It is a baked confection often made with a dough similar to a cookie or biscuit, filled with a variety of sweet pastes or jams. Common fillings include anko (sweet red bean paste), fruit jams, or custard. The outer dough is typically soft and slightly chewy, providing a contrast to the smooth filling.

Doky are a popular snack in Japan, often found in convenience stores, bakeries, and supermarkets. They are also frequently served with tea or coffee. The name "doky" is thought to be derived from the onomatopoeic sound of chewing the sweet. Variations in size, shape, and filling exist, allowing for a wide range of taste experiences. Some doky are plain, while others may have decorative markings on their surface. Their portability and relatively long shelf life make them a convenient treat for people of all ages. The preparation involves mixing ingredients, forming the dough around the filling, and then baking until golden brown.
