If I remember correctly, they're a kind of deep fried cookie thinger, made with flour and coconut milk. They're sorta hard and crunchy, with a sweet glaze coating.
I couldn't even begin to take a stab at the pronounciation, haole that I am.

Gee, I thought it was some kind of doughnuts or something. No idea how you pronounce its name.
BTW, thanks for visiting my site the other day. I tried out your biscuit recipe this morning and posted about it. Hope you come n take a look when you have time. : )

They look like little rolls of dough dipped in egg and sugar, then baked. Mmmm!

My grandma and mom used to make this all of the time. I thought it was pronounced (gor-er-ria). I have been looking for this recipe til' this day. If anyone has it please pass it on.
We used to call it Guamanian Jaw Breakers. It's very sweet and hard and you need a special little board to roll the dough on.

I am Guamanian and these are little Guamanian cookies that are pronounced gooj-jer-ria.
They are little hard deep fried "jawbreaker" cookies that taste alot like a a pie crust..but they have a sweetened glaze. They are great in the morning with a cup of coffee.
You need a special board to roll them up on that makes them look like the little seashell shape.
