This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics of sugar-snap cookies made with various levels(0, 1.5, 3, 4.5, and 6% w/w) of Chrysanthemum indicum Linne powder. Dough pieces were baked for 11 min at $180^{\circ}C$ in an electrically heated rotary oven. All items were measured after cooling for 1 hour at room temperature. The results were as follows. Dough pH was significantly decreased in the 3%, 4.5% and 6% samples in contrast to the control sample(p<0.001). Furthermore, lightness (L*-value) and spread factor decreased significantly according to increasing Chrysanthemum indicum Linne powder concentration(p<0.001). However, dough density was significantly increased in the 3%, 4.5%, and 6% samples in contrast to the control sample(p<0.001). Likewise, the hardness and redness(a*-value) of the cookies increased significantly with increasing Chrysanthemum indicum Linne powder concentration(p<0.001). However, the moisture content of the dough was not significantly affected by the Chrysanthemum indicum Linne powder concentration. Finally, the powder concentration had positive correlations with dough density(p<0.01) and hardness(p<0.01). However, it had negative correlations with dough pH(p<0.01), lightness(L*-value)(p<0.05), and spread factor(p<0.01). Overall, the results showed that there were significant correlations between Chrysanthemum indicum Linne powder concentration and the physicochemical characteristics of the cookies.
