Caycay (pronounced [kaɪkaɪ]) is a Filipino crunchy layered cookie coated in syrup ( latik) or honey and rolled in coarsely ground toasted peanuts. It originates from the islands of Bohol and Cebu and is a common specialty in the southern Visayas islands and Mindanao. [1] [2] The name comes from the verb kaykay which means "to dig up" in the Cebuano language, in reference to the step of coating the cookies in ground peanuts. [3] [4] Some versions coat the cookies in sesame seeds instead of peanuts.
