Chocolate chip cookies..with a twist! In this small batch recipe, sweet white miso is used instead of salt, giving the cookies a complex flavor that is even more pronounced the next day.

I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that miso can be used in not only savory dishes, but sweet ones too. So I figured I’d try it out with chocolate chip cookies which is a favorite a many people, myself included and the results were soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies with the miso giving it a light umami flavor.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla powder (optional)
• 1/4 cup (60ml) melted coconut oil
• 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons (36g) cane sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons (30g) white miso
• 2 tablespoons (22g) applesauce
• 3/4 cup (135g) non-dairy chocolate chips

Instructions

In a medium sized bowl whisk the flour, baking soda, and vanilla powder (if using). Set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix together melted coconut oil, brown sugar, cane sugar, and miso until thoroughly combined and creamy. Add in the applesauce and vanilla extract to the mixture. Then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

Fold in the chocolate chips, careful not to over mix.

Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator and roll into 6 balls, about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place the balls of dough about 2 to three inches apart on the baking sheet.

Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.

After removing from oven, allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 3 to five minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely. And enjoy.
