Move over chocolate chip—there’s a bold new cookie in town, and it’s got foodies divided. The latest flavor trend taking over Instagram and TikTok is the Butterscotch-Pecan Cookie with Miso, and while it sounds like culinary blasphemy at first, it might just be the flavor combo you never knew you needed.
That’s the question sparking debate across social media. Miso, a fermented soybean paste typically used in savory soups and marinades, is making its mark in the baking world. When combined with the buttery richness of butterscotch and the nutty crunch of pecans, it creates a wildly addictive umami-sweet balance that’s impossible to forget.
Melt and cook the butter over medium heat until golden and nutty. Let it cool slightly before using it in the dough.
In a large bowl, mix the browned butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and miso paste until smooth and creamy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Then fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped pecans.
Cover the dough and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps deepen flavor and improve texture.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop the chilled dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden at the edges and slightly soft in the center.
Some call it genius. Others say it’s “wrong on so many levels.” But the numbers don’t lie—thousands of home bakers are trying it, and celebrity chefs are starting to incorporate miso into desserts across Michelin-starred menus. This cookie may just be the start of a bigger trend: savory invading the sweet tooth space.
If you love bold flavor, crave something new, or want to impress your foodie friends—yes, this cookie is worth the hype. If nothing else, it’s the most talked-about cookie recipe of the season, and it might just redefine how you think about dessert.
So, are you Team Miso or Team Madness? Try it, share it, and let the debate continue!
