So…I’ve decided to post another cookie recipe. This time it is going to be a short one, I just thought it would interesting to post this one just for fun. The recipe is a good balance between sweet, savoury, and even a bit of umami. I was coming up with some ideas for holiday cookies when this idea suddenly hit me: miso shortbread. For an Asian flair, I’ve even added some toasted sesame seeds to add more flavour, and the result was great. Sprinkling the tops with sugar also added an extra crunch. This is a very easy recipe to prepare, and…different, so don’t expect the taste of a typical shortbread cookie. Enjoy!
