The absolute best miso chocolate chip cookies! These sourdough miso chocolate chip cookies are made with homemade miso, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and brown butter for the most fantastic texture and flavor.

  • Prep: 15 minutes
  • Cook: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 340 g all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 230 g butter*
  • 300 g sugar
  • 140 g miso
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 120 g sourdough starter (active or discard, hydrated)
  • 1/2 cup mini milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Please read the notes before you begin.
  2. Brown the butter in a small saucepan until bubbly, and dark golden. Stir it continuously, careful to not burn it.
  3. Remove from heat and allow the butter to cool completely to room temperature.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder).
  5. Once the butter has cooled completely but is still liquid, to a large bowl add the brown butter, sugar, vanilla extract, sourdough starter, and miso.
  6. Combine with a whisk or hand mixer until even.
  7. Fold the combined dry ingredients into the wet ingredient butter mixture. Stir until well combined.
  8. Add your chocolate chunks and chips.
  9. Place the dough in the fridge for at least 2 hours or refrigerate overnight.
  10. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of your chilled cookie dough and shape into balls.
  11. Preheat the oven to 375° and place the cookie dough balls about two inches apart on the lined cookie sheet.
  12. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
  13. Remove the cookies and let them sit on the cookie sheet until completely cool.

Notes

  • This recipe is for people with a refined palette and a love for miso.
  • These cookies are like salted chocolate chip cookies but with more umami flavors from the miso. If you don’t like salty and sweet baked goods, this may not be the recipe for you… and if you don’t love miso, you probably won’t love these cookies. 
  • You can use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe. The miso already adds a good bit of salt, so salted butter will be even more salty.
