Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed. Continue mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if some flour streaks remain visible.
6. Form Cookies: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You should aim for about 1-2 tablespoons of dough per cookie.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked. The centers may seem a bit soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
8. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Miso Ginger Molasses Cookies with a festive drink or share them as delightful gifts!

These chewy cookies are perfect for adding a unique flavor profile to your holiday baking and are sure to impress your guests with their unexpected taste. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed as a sweet treat, a dessert, or even a festive gift.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the macaroons from sticking.
