Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. 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.
3. Add in the peanut butter and miso paste, mixing in medium high speed until well combined.
4. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to mix until smooth, scraping the bowl down as needed.
5. Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix on low speed until the dough comes together with no dry spots or clumps.
6. Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls (18-20,) and roll in the white sugar. Flatten with a spatula.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, and let cool before enjoying.

1. 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.
