These Peanut Butter Miso Cookies balances sweet and salty perfectly. The umami in the miso adds a level of complex savouriness that step these cookies up to the next level.

They contain no flour so they’re gluten-free and a little more guilt-free than normal cookies. It’s a good excuse to eat more than one.

As you don’t have many ingredients and the assembly is straight forward, these cookies are really quick and easy to make.

1. Ingredients

You need two kinds of sugars, soft brown and caster. If you don’t have caster sugar, you can use some white sugar instead. You need to use commercial (Kraft, Skippy etc.) thick peanut butter for this recipe. You won’t get the same consistency if you use 100% natural peanut butter. The egg needs to be at room temperature so simply leave it on the counter for a few hours before baking. I would recommend using just white miso as the darker ones can be overpowering. 

2. Equipment

You need two baking trays lined with baking paper. To make the cookies, you need an electric whisk or a stand mixer. You also need a spatula, large mixing bowl, an ice-cream scoop and some measuring equipment. 

3. Add some flour 

These cookies are gluten-free and can be made with no flour. However, the peanut butter can make the cookies more chewy and slightly oily. If you want to, you can add 1/2 cup of flour to the dough. You can add it to the dry ingredients when you are whisking the sugars, baking soda/powder together. 

4. Freeze cookies

Mould the cookies into balls and coat them with the demerara sugar. Afterwards, freeze the cookies so that you can bake them in the oven at a later time. You can bake them frozen, but for a little longer. I’d recommend for around 10 minutes or until the edges have browned.
