You’ll notice that these cookies are baked at 325, which is slightly low temperature when it comes to cookie baking. There is a fair amount of mellow white miso in the dough which tends to caramelize quickly, so the lower oven temp helps temper that tendency. Another thing worth mentioning is that I tested these cookies on several different kinds of baking sheets and found that cookies baked on flimsier non stick baking sheets had a tendency to burn at the edges before their centers were cooked through, while those cooked on standard aluminum rimmed baking sheets cooked perfectly evenly. I highly recommend you invest in a couple of these commercial grade baking sheets which are long lasting and great for roasting and baking all sorts of things, both savory and sweet.
