Instructions
1
Brown butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden and nutty. Remove from heat, pour in a large mixing bowl and stir in espresso powder and milk powder. Let the butter cool for 10-15 minutes.
2
While the butter is cooling, in a small separate bowl whisk egg, yolk, and miso until smooth and set aside.
3
When the butter has cooled, whisk in sugars and vanilla till smooth and glossy.
4
Add in the egg miso mixture to the batter.
5
Whisk dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
6
Fold dry into wet just until almost combined, a few noticeable flour streaks.
7
Stir in chocolate just enough till combined and you don't see any more flour.
8
Cover and chill dough 30 to 60 minutes.
9
In a small bowl mix miso sugar topping and set aside.
10
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and scoop dough into large balls. Smear a pea-sized dab of miso sugar on all over the top of the cookie dough ball.
11
Bake at 350°F for 10–11 minutes.
12
Cool 5 minutes on pan, then transfer to rack to fully cool. The centers will appear underbaked at first and will continue to cook through even on the cooling rack.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Butter to Perfect Nuttiness 🧈Watch your butter constantly as it browns—it goes from golden to burnt in seconds. Stop when it's amber-colored with a nutty aroma, then let it cool completely before mixing to prevent cooking the eggs.
- Miso Paste Dissolving Secret 🔑Whisk your miso paste into the cooled brown butter until completely smooth before adding other wet ingredients; this prevents clumpy texture and ensures the savory umami distributes evenly throughout the dough.
- Cornstarch for Crispy-Chewy Balance ✨The cornstarch in this recipe is crucial—it reduces gluten development and creates that signature crispy exterior while keeping the center tender, so don't skip or substitute it with regular flour.
- Espresso Powder Enhances Chocolate Depth 🍫Bloom your espresso powder in the brown butter or a touch of warm milk before mixing to activate its flavor compounds; this deepens the chocolate notes without making the cookies taste like coffee.
- Chill Dough for Miso Complexity 🧊Refrigerate your dough for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the miso's savory flavors to fully develop and meld with the sweetness, resulting in more sophisticated cookies with better structure.
