Description

These Peanut Butter Miso Cookies are soft vegan cookies with the perfect balance of sweetness and depth from just a touch of miso paste.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup vegan butter
3/4 cup peanut butter (natural, drippy peanut butter)
2 tablespoons white miso paste
1/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup non-dairy milk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon of salt (more or less depending on how salty your miso paste is)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 and prepare a baking sheet by laying down a silicone baking mat (optional).
In a small saucepan or a microwave safe bowl, combine the butter, peanut butter, and miso paste. If using a saucepan and stovetop, place over low heat and whisk until smooth and well combined. If using the microwave, cook for 15-30 second increments stirring well in between until completely melted and smooth. Place mixture to the side and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, corn starch, and salt and mix until completely combined.
Once the peanut butter, butter, and miso paste mixture has cooled slightly, combine it with the white and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and mix for 2-3 minutes. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or your hands, scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough and use your hands to roll into a ball and place on a prepared baking sheet. The dough should be enough for about 24 cookies (2 batches of 12). Use a fork to make a criss-cross pattern on the top of the dough ball.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the middle of the cookies are just set. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes
