Ingredients

Gather these ingredients to create your delicious cookies.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup miso paste
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Follow these steps to bake your cookies to perfection.

Brown the Butter

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring frequently until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined, then add the miso paste, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Chill the Dough

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Cool and Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your unique cookies!

Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container.

Storage and Freshness

To keep your Miso Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay delicious for up to a week. If you want to maintain their chewy texture, consider adding a slice of bread to the container; it will help keep the cookies moist.

For longer storage, you can freeze the cookie dough before baking. Simply scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer the dough balls to a zip-top bag. When you're ready to bake, you can bake them straight from the freezer—just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.

Pairing Ideas

These cookies pair wonderfully with a variety of beverages. A glass of cold milk is a classic choice, but for a more adult pairing, consider enjoying them with a cup of coffee or a rich dark roast. The bitterness of the coffee complements the sweetness of the cookies, enhancing the overall experience.

For a truly indulgent treat, serve these cookies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The warm cookies will melt the ice cream slightly, creating a decadent dessert that is sure to impress. Garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra touch of sophistication.
