According to the Korean Red Cross Seoul Central Blood Center on the 16th, for one day only, seven blood centers under the Seoul Central Blood Center's jurisdiction—Jungang, Hongdae, Guro Digital Complex Station, Ilsan, Mokdong, Balsan Station, and Daehwa Station Center—are running an event that gives an additional Dubai jjondeuk cookie to donors of whole blood and platelets.

The Dubai jjondeuk cookie provided is made the same day at a cafe near the Blood House. Depending on the center, donors can also receive a CJ gift certificate (5,000 won) usable at Olive Young, Tous les Jours, CGV, and more.

The Dubai jjondeuk cookie is a dessert that has recently started trending in Korea, originating from a combination of Dubai chocolate and a chewy cookie.

It is made by wrapping a filling of pistachio spread and kadaif mixed together with marshmallow dough.
