Irresistible Umami Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
  • Prep Time

  • Total Time
    40 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of densely packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup of unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons of white sugar
  • 4 tablespoons of shiro miso, a white fermented soybean paste
  • 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon of baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 cup of rich dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup of finely chopped walnuts

Step 1

Whip up a delightful mixture of brown sugar, butter, and white sugar in a stand mixer until it becomes a light and fluffy concoction, which should take around 2 minutes. Next, introduce miso to the blend and let it all dance together for half a minute; remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl for an even mix. Then, add in an egg and a hint of vanilla extract, letting them join the party for another 30 seconds. Toss in an egg yolk, a splash of lemon juice, and continue mixing until everything melds into a harmonious dough, ensuring to scrape down the sides of the bowl throughout, which should take about 2 minutes.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to create a dry mixture. Gradually incorporate one cup of the flour mixture at a time into the wet ingredients, giving it a good stir for 30 to 45 seconds after each addition. Toss in chocolate chips and walnuts for an added crunch. Transfer the dough onto a generous sheet of parchment paper, shaping it into a log by gathering the sides of the paper and gently pressing the batter together. Wrap the log snugly and let it chill in the freezer for an hour.

Step 3

Approximately 15 minutes before you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (182 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone pad.

Step 4

Retrieve the cookie dough from the freezer and slice the log into 2 tablespoon-sized pieces. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a thick disk using your palms, and arrange them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake the cookies in batches in the preheated oven until the edges turn a lovely golden brown hue, usually around 12 to 14 minutes. Once done, let the pan rest outside the oven for 3 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool down completely.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your chocolate chips in an airtight container to preserve their delicious flavor and prevent them from becoming stale.
  2. 2. Store your flour in a cool, dark place to keep it fresh and free from moisture, which can affect the texture of your cookies.
  3. 3. Use glass jars to store your sugar and brown sugar, as they will keep them fresh and prevent clumping.
