I didn’t think that I could enjoy chocolate chip cookies more, and then I made these. And my mind was kind of blown. Hey guys and welcome back to another recipe! Today I am sharing a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that incorporates miso paste into the batter to create a wonderfully salty, sweet cookie that is absolutely mouth-watering.
I don’t know about you but I don’t really enjoy super sweet desserts. When I am eating a baked good or dessert I want to taste the flavor of the ingredients. I don’t want to taste straight-up sugar because that’s just nasty and anyone saying otherwise is lying to themselves. It actually makes me kind of gag just thinking about eating straight sugar. I think I have mentioned this in the past and in other blog posts but I really love well-rounded desserts with a lot of flavor and this recipe fits the description perfectly!
Items Used in This Recipe
I never thought of adding miso paste, of all things to anything I would bake but I have found that when you add strange ingredients to anything you may bake it usually makes the recipe better. Isn’t that so strange? Some of the best things I have eaten were usually a blend of ingredients that should taste absolutely horrible together but don’t!
Even though you can barely taste the miso paste in these cookies (if anything it just makes the cookie moister) and I think it significantly changes the texture and spread of the cookie. I also believe it changes the way the cookie browns as well. If you like a cookie that is less sweet, and slightly chewy with a wonderful umami flavor this is the cookie for you! I usually buy miso paste in a large tub because that seems to be the only way I can buy it where I live so I love the ability to use up the rest of the miso paste without having to throw it out! If you decide to make this recipe let me know if you can taste a difference in the miso chocolate chip cookies compared to traditionally made chocolate chip cookies and tell me if you like the difference in the comments below! I hope you enjoy this recipe and have fun baking!
