Miso Rice Cereal Cookies Recipes

SECRET INGREDIENT (MISO!) CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Beat both sugars and butter together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg, miso and vanilla and beat until well mixed. Add flour and baking soda and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour (this is very important in order to have a chewy cookie that doesn't spread out too much).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
• Use a medium ice cream scoop to portion cookie dough on the prepared pans. Use two fingers to lightly flatten each scoop of dough. Bake, rotating and switching the pans halfway through, 13 to 14 minutes for a chewy cookie (a few minutes longer if you like a more well-done cookie). Eat warm with a glass of milk and cool the rest on a wire rack.

CEREAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine cornflakes, rice cereal, and oats in a large bowl. Whisk flour and baking soda together in a separate bowl.
• Beat butter, oil, and both sugars in a very large bowl until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. Slowly mix in flour mixture. Stir in cereal mixture by hand.
• Drop tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Flatten balls with the bottom of a glass for even cooking and crispier cookies.
• Bake in batches in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

CHEWY CEREAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
• In a clean and dry glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. Fold in cereal, coconut and vanilla. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm. Allow to cool completely before removing from cookie sheets.

NO BAKE CEREAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Bring sugar and syrup to a boil. Add peanut butter and stir well. Remove from heat. Stir in cereal (see Cook's Note).
• Pat into a lightly greased 9x13-inch pan, or drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper.
• Allow to cool before slicing bars.

PEANUT BUTTER-MISO COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and baking powder, and whisk until incorporated. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix butter, light brown sugar and granulated sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• Add miso and peanut butter to the mixing bowl, and continue to mix at medium speed, about 1 minute. Scrape down sides of the bowl to make sure all of the ingredients are evenly incorporated, and mix a bit more if needed. Add egg and vanilla extract, and mix until just combined.
• Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the mixing bowl, and mix on low speed until flour mixture is incorporated. Repeat with remaining flour mixture in two batches until all of it is incorporated.
• Place 1/2 cup Demerara sugar into a small bowl. Working with one piece at a time, scoop out about 2 heaping tablespoons of dough (about 50 grams per cookie), and roll each portion between your hands until it is nice and round. (If the dough is too soft to roll, you can pop the mixing bowl in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes to firm the dough up slightly.) Drop the piece of dough into the bowl of Demerara sugar and turn to coat. Transfer each ball to a parchment-lined baking sheet, arranging them about 3 inches apart. Repeat with all of the dough.
• Refrigerate for 2 hours and up to overnight. (Even 15 minutes of refrigerator time will help the dough firm up, and the flavors meld. The longer the dough is refrigerated, the more mellow the flavors will be.)
• When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake cookies for about 15 minutes, until crisp at the edges and slightly puffed in the middle. They should still be a bit underdone in the center. Pull out the baking sheet and hit it against a counter. Place back into the oven to finish for about 3 to 4 minutes. When cookies are firm at the edges and slightly puffed in the center, pull them out and again hit the baking sheet against the counter. The cookies should appear flat and crinkly at the center.
• Let the cookies cool on a baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Store fully cooled cookies in an airtight container; they should retain their chewy texture for a few days.
