Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 stick of unsalted butter, softened
1 cup of brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup white miso paste
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup white sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, (or stand mixer with paddle attachment,) cream together the butter and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add in the peanut butter and miso paste, mixing in medium high speed until well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla and continue to mix until smooth, scraping the bowl down as needed.
- Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix on low speed until the dough comes together with no dry spots or clumps.
- Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls (18-20,) and roll in the white sugar. Flatten with a spatula.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, and let cool before enjoying.
- These cookies take about 10-12 minutes total to bake in my oven, but after 9 minutes I open the oven and give the pan a good bang which helps create the crackly top, then continue to bake for about 2 minutes more. Once the edges feel set, take the cookies out and give the pan one more good bang.
