MISO-MAPLE COOKIES

These simple but scrumptious cookies take only about 30 minutes to make, and they’re perfect served with tea or coffee, or decorated for the holidays. Double the recipe to make two batches.

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, at room temperature

3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup miso shiro paste, also known as white miso, available at Whole Foods or Asian markets

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 tablespoon full-fat plain Greek yogurt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

Using a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in the egg, miso shiro and maple syrup. Beat in the yogurt. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients.

Scoop out 1 heaping tablespoon of dough and place on a naked cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, about 2 inches apart, until about 2 cookie sheets are filled. Slightly flatten the top of each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes, or until slightly golden and crackling. Transfer the baking sheets to a wire rack and let cool.

Makes 20 cookies.
