Miso Chocolate Tahini Cookies

IMG_3876.jpg

Hear me out… miso is AMAZING in soup, asian dishes, and all thee savory goods we crave. But, it is just as tasty and well rounded in sweets. Let me introduce you to my friend, “Miso Chocolate Tahini Cookies” . Yes this may look like a plain ol’ chocolate chip cookie, but it’s so much more than that.

The pairing of miso, tahini, and chocolate provides layers of flavor during every single bite. The added miso provides a rich depth of flavor thanks to the sweet n’ salty umami flavor. Tahini adds the nutty taste that balances the sweetness of the chocolate (and cookie base).

Be prepared for your tastebuds to be on overdrive during every single bite…enjoy!
