  • Total Time: 57 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cookies

Ingredients

  • 9 tablespoons (128 g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (40 g) white miso paste
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (200 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon (2 g) salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Melt butter over medium heat, swirling until foamy and nutty smelling. Remove from heat and cool slightly. If under 1/2 cup, add extra butter to compensate.
  2. Whisk browned butter with brown and granulated sugars until smooth. Add egg, miso paste, and vanilla, mixing until glossy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold into wet ingredients in two parts. Add chopped chocolate and mix to combine.
  4. Scoop dough into 1 oz balls, place on lined baking sheet, and chill for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours).
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange dough balls 2 inches apart and bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers puffed.
  6. Tap tray gently after baking for flatter cookies. Sprinkle warm cookies with flaky sea salt and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Chill dough to prevent spreading and enhance flavor.
  • Use chopped chocolate for melty ribbons, not chips.
  • Tap tray after baking for flatter cookies.
  • Measure flour and butter by weight for best results.
