Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 ¼ cup (150g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter 1 stick. softened
  • ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (34g) white miso
  • 1 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 rounded cup bittersweet chocolate chips just a little over 1 cup
For the Topping
  • 2 tablespoons (34g) red miso paste red miso preferred but not required
  • 3 tablespoons (40g) dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter softened

Method
 

For the Dough
  1. I recommend using a stand mixer but it is totally optional.
  2. Begin by mixing butter, light brown sugar and granulate sugar. When that is well mixed, add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix a little and then add the white miso.
  3. When these are all well combined, add the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. When a dough is formed, add the chocolate chips and mix until the chocolate chips are well distributed.
  5. Scoop dough using a 1oz scooper onto a tray or plate lined with plastic. This will eventually go into the refrigerator to chill but first we have to make the topping.
For the Topping
  1. To make the topping, mix together red miso paste, softened butter, and dark brown sugar.
Assemble
  1. Dollop topping on each scoop of cookie dough. I used a piping bag to put three small dots and then I spread them with a stick. This helps ensure an even spread. You can just use a spoon
  2. Chill the topped cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes
  3. Preheat oven to 350℉.
  4. Place your chilled dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Be sure to give the cookies ample space to spread
  5. Bake at 350℉ for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges
  6. Remove from oven when done. Let cool and enjoy!
