Peanut Butter Miso Cookies

Instructions

1. In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder & baking soda. Set aside
2. In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, (or stand mixer with paddle attachment,) cream together the butter and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
3. Add in the peanut butter and miso paste, mixing in medium high speed until well combined.
4. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to mix until smooth, scraping the bowl down as needed.
5. Sprinkle the flour mixture on top of the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until the dough comes together with no dry spots or clumps. (But don't over-mix!)
6. Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls (18-20,) and roll in the white sugar.
7. Either chill the cookie dough ball in the fridge or freezer to bake later, or bake right away at 350F. These cookies take about 10-12 minutes total to bake in my oven , but after 9 minutes I open the oven and give the pan a good bang which helps create the crackly top, then continue to bake for about 2 minutes more. Once the edges feel set, take the cookies out and give the pan one more good bang.
