2teaspoonswhite miso paste
1-2tablespoonsunsweetened plain almond milkto thin if needed
1/2cupchocolate chunks or chips
Flaky sea saltfor topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325° F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, white sugar, brown sugar, and baking soda.
Using a wooden spoon, mix in the softened butter, tahini, vanilla and almond extract, miso paste, and almond milk until well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips then use a cookie scoop to place cookies on a sheet pan about 3" apart. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Tranfer the cookies to the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are slightly underbaked.
Remove from the oven and slap the tray on the counter once or twice to flatten slightly. If desired, use a large-rimmed cup to gently shape the cookie into a perfect circle. Let cool for 10-15 minutes for the best chewy texture.
