Ingredients
- 200 g salted butter
- 150 g brown sugar
- 115 g caster sugar
- 2 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
- 300 g plain flour
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon sea salt flakes plus extra for topping the cookies
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 250 g dark chocolate in a block, chopped into chunks, 70% dark
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Brown the butter by adding it to a stainless steel saucepan over medium heat. Continuously mix as it simmers away until it becomes a golden brown colour, it may take up to 7 - 10 minutes. Transfer browned butter to a seperate bowl once browned to prevent burning the butter.
- Whilst the browned butter is still hot, whisk in the miso paste. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- Add the sugars to a mixing bowl, pour over the browned butter and whisk for 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla and whisk for another minute. This is your wet mixture
- In another bowl, combine the flour with the salt and baking powder. Fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture then add the chocolate (reserving a few pieces to sit on top of the cookies) and mix through again.
- Divide the dough into 8 balls, top off with the extra pieces of chocolate then bake for 10 - 12 minutes until they begin to brown around the edges.
- Whilst they're fresh out of the oven, sprinkle with some extra sea salt flakes and toasted sesame seeds and enjoy!
