Korean cookie or a Korean cookie

Hi. I believe hangwa is a sweet Korean cookie. Now, Iet's say I want to say something about it in a bullet point format and the following are the first two among other points in the list. I am not really sure if the first one is correct. Should there be the article "a" before the word "Korean" in the first point? Thank you in advance for your help.

1. (A?) Korean cookie
2. Sweet

because it's just a bullet point, the "a" is not necessary.

Thank you. Let's say you're trying to write about Hangeul in an informal note form, in addition to about Hangwa. Should we include the articles in the places indicated? I believe King Sejong invented Hangeul, which is a Korean language.

Hangeul -- (A?) Korean language; invented by King Sejong.
Hangwa -- (A?) Korean cookie; tastes sweet

Also, we have two words "H

After looking them up on the internet, I can suggest:

Hangul - The Korean alphabet, invented by King Sejong.
Hangwa - (A) sweet Korean cookie.

We use "the" in #1 because there is only one Korean alphabet in use.
We use "a" in #2 because Hangwa is one of many types of cookies in Korea. The use of "a" is optional if you're writing an informal note.
