Miso-Oatmeal Cookies

These look like totally normal oatmeal cookies…

Miso-Oatmeal Cookies | www.spachethespatula.com #recipeThey’re so not! These oatmeal cookies have miso paste in them. Yes, that stuff used in soup and other savory applications. I got the idea when I saw a miso caramel on a menu as a dessert compliment. The saltiness of the miso pairs so perfectly with sweetness. Salty-sweet is arguably the best flavor combo, ever. This is that, but with a deep umami flavor to go along with it!

They have the chewiness and texture you love from oatmeal cookies, but with a far more interesting flavor. Plus, they’re one of those cookies that just seems to get better and better with age, so feel free to leave them hanging around for a week or two…I mean if they’ll last.

The trick with these is to make sure you’re using a white miso paste, which is milder in flavor than, say, a red miso paste. My favorite one to use is actually a chickpea white miso, which has an added perk of being soy-free, if you’re into that kinda thing.

Miso-Oatmeal Cookies

Yield: about 16-18 cookies

Miso-Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup white miso (I like this chickpea miso)
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Line 3 baking sheets with silicone mats (or parchment paper).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, miso, and sugars for 5 minutes. Add in the eggs and beat on medium-high for 8-10 minutes until glossy. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add in the oats/flour mixture and mix until combined.
  4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
  5. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  6. Scoop the cookies, a an inch or two apart (basically there should be 8 on each baking sheet: a row of 3, then 2, then 3), onto the prepared baking sheets using a 1 and 1/2 to 2 tablespoon-sized cookie scoop. Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes, turning them halfway through. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheets before movie them to a wire rack to cool further.
