Give a little twist to your ordinary cookies with Miso. That’s right, Miso! Miso gives a nice salty and nutty flavor to these morsels.
If the dough is too soft and hard to handle, let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. Other than that, it is pretty simple to make.

Miso Cookies
Miso flavored ice-box cookies
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Miso paste
- 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 egg
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- raw sugar
Instructions
- Beat Miso, butter, and sugar in a bowl until creamy. Add egg and beat some more.
- Then add flour and baking soda, and mix until dough comes together.
- Cut the dough in half and shape into a 2″ round log, using flour if the dough is sticking (or cool it in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm). Roll and coat with raw sugar. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
- Slice the cookie dough into 1/2″ thick rounds. Place cookies on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in preheated oven at 350F (175C) for 12-15 minutes.

I was looking for a simple Dorayaki recipe and found your blog. Really interesting! It would be nice if there were a post dealing with Bento boxes and what sort of thing you usually put in them. All I can find online are American foods by American cooks. I’d like your ideas.
Thanks for your comment! We would like to do some bento recipes soon. Please come back!
Miso in cookies? o,o
Sounds so odd, I will have to try it!
Emy,
it is sweet cookies with hint of saltiness from miso.
I did it with raw sugar, but can I omit it?
Matsuoka,
do you mean omit sugar completely? That may not work.
For the Miso – should we use white or red or both? (or does it matter?)
Alison,
use your favorite Miso. I like making it with red Miso!
Hi Noriko, Is it really just half an egg you use in this recipe?
Dale,
yes 🙂
Love your blog, The recipes are great! This recipe seems so great combining east and western ingredients. Keep posting great recipes, gambatte kudasai!
