Instructions
1
Cream and Mix Ingredients
Start by beating together the brown sugar, butter, and white sugar in a stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Then stir in the miso paste and mix for another 30 seconds, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing again for about 30 seconds. Finally, toss in the egg yolk and lemon juice, mixing everything together for a couple of minutes until well combined.
2
Fold in Chips and Nuts
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this flour mixture to the wet ingredients, about a cup at a time, mixing for 30 to 45 seconds after each addition. Once the dough comes together, fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
3
Shape and Freeze Dough
Turn the dough out onto a large piece of parchment paper. Gather the edges of the paper and gently shape the dough into a log, then wrap it up tightly and pop it in the freezer for an hour.

Prepare and Shape Cookies
When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (182°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Take the dough out of the freezer and slice it into pieces roughly the size of two tablespoons. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it slightly with your hands to make a thick disk. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
5
Bake and Cool Cookies
Bake the cookies in batches for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges turn a nice golden brown. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a glass of cold milk or a cup of green tea to complement the savory notes. They also pair nicely with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a tasty dessert twist.
Storage Tips
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To keep them soft longer, add a slice of bread to the container to maintain moisture. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a sealed bag for up to three months.
