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.
