Miso Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Description
The Miso Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe blends unsalted butter with white miso paste, giving the dough an intriguing depth beyond standard sweetness. After creaming these with sugars, the mixture gets enriched with vanilla and a large egg before folding in flour, baking soda, and an ample amount of semi-sweet chocolate chunks. Chilling the dough for an hour firm ups the batter and enhances the final texture. Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until golden on the bottom creates cookies with tender centers and lightly crisp edges. Once cooled on wire racks, the cookies offer an unusual savory note beneath classic chocolate chip sweetness.
The balance between miso’s saltiness and the sugars ensures a nuanced flavor profile, making these cookies suitable for those interested in a twist on a familiar favorite. The methodical steps—especially chilling—are key to controlling spread and texture.
They can be enjoyed on their own or with a glass of milk or tea. The recipe doesn’t specify storage tips, but these cookies will typically keep well in an airtight container for several days.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter at room temperature, unsalted
- ½ cup white miso
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks can sub chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream the butter and miso in with a stand mixer or in a large bowl with electric beaters. Add both the sugars and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat for 1 minute more.
- Add the flour and baking soda to the bowl and stir just until they're mixed. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Cover the bowl and put it into your fridge to chill for 1 hour. (This helps the flavor develop and prevents the cookies from spreading too much.)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Scoop the batter with a medium-sized cookie scoop onto cookie sheets and gently press the tops down with your fingers. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden on the bottom. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
