Burnt Miso (Brown Butter) Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

4.67 | 9 reviews
The name says it all, but it still doesn't do this recipe justice. These chocolate chip cookies are filled with rich brown butter flavor, umami miso saltiness and rich dark chocolate. It's like heaven in a bite (or five).

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113g) butter
  • 2 tablespoons white miso
  • 2 tablespoons milk of choice
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup & 2 tablespoons (118g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (175g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 bar (113g) dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. Put a skillet on medium-low heat, melt 113 grams of butter until it is golden yellow. Add 2 tablespoons of white miso and stir with a spatula until it is fully combined and no clumps remain.
  3. Continue to cook down the butter and miso until the mixture starts to fizz slightly. Stir constantly as the miso and butter begin to brown. When they get to a golden brown color, remove from the heat and keep stirring until you get a rich dark brown color. Pour this into a large bowl.
  4. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of milk to the butter mixture, it should turn into a creamy yellow liquid. Allow this mixture to cool slightly before adding the egg. Beat well.
  5. Add 118 grams of brown sugar, 50 grams of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  6. If the bowl is large enough, add 175 grams of flour, 8 grams of cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder. Whisk to combine. The dough should be sticky and a little wet feeling, but it will thicken up.
  7. Chop 113 grams of chocolate and add to the bowl. Mix well.
  8. Scoop the dough into 40 gram sized balls. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes, or until the oven is preheated.
  9. Bake at 350°F for 9-11 minutes. You want the cookies to still feel gooey in the center, because the residual heat from the pan will continue to cook them after they are out of the oven.
  10. Serve whenever!
