Categories     Nut     Cookies     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1/3 cup smooth peanut or almond butter
1/4 cup miso
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips or wafers (*see note)

Steps:

  • Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°. Whisk flour and baking soda in a medium bowl. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it foams, then browns, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool 5 minutes. Add brown sugar and stir until well combined, about 1 minute. Add egg and continue to stir until mixture is smooth, about 1 minute longer. Add almond butter, miso, and vanilla and stir until well combined. Mix in dry ingredients, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until combined. *If you aren't feeling the chocolate dip (instructions below), now is the time to stir in ½ cup chocolate chips. Let dough rest 10 minutes. Scoop 2-tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into a ball (you should have 16 balls). Arrange on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2" apart. Make a crosshatch pattern with a fork across tops of dough (if fork sticks to dough, dip into water before continuing). Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until lightly browned and firm around the edges, 12-14 minutes. Let cool. Melt chocolate in a microwave in 20-second blasts, stirring in between, until completely smooth. Dip 1 side of each cookie into chocolate and return to baking sheets. Let sit at room temperature until chocolate hardens, about 2 hours. Sprinkle with sea salt. Do Ahead: Cookies can be made 2 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
