Miso has a saltiness that enhances the sweetness of the chocolate, as well as a richness that just brings everything together.

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons room temperature vegan butter
1 tablespoon miso
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water)
1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate chips (more as desired)
Directions
- Make the flax egg: In a small bowl, combine flaxseed meal and water. Mix well, and let sit at room temperature for at least 5 minutes, or until thickened.
- For the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk together room temperature vegan butter, brown sugar, and miso. Cream this mixture for around three minutes, until its homogenous and nicely incorporated.
- Add the flax egg into the creamed mixture and mix well. Then in goes the dry ingredients, followed by chocolate chips. Mix everything together well.
- Scoop the mixture and shape them into balls — I portioned it into 6 balls. Place them onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and chill in the fridge for at least thirty minutes.*
- When thirty minutes is almost up, pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 Fahrenheit). Bake the cookies for 16-18 minutes, or until they are golden-brown. Cool them on a wire wrack and enjoy while still warm.
Notes
- If you’re impatient like me, you can place the tray in the freezer while the oven is pre-heating, and take them out when the oven has pre-heated.
