Steps:
- Beat both sugars and butter together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg, miso and vanilla and beat until well mixed. Add flour and baking soda and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour (this is very important in order to have a chewy cookie that doesn't spread out too much).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
- Use a medium ice cream scoop to portion cookie dough on the prepared pans. Use two fingers to lightly flatten each scoop of dough. Bake, rotating and switching the pans halfway through, 13 to 14 minutes for a chewy cookie (a few minutes longer if you like a more well-done cookie). Eat warm with a glass of milk and cool the rest on a wire rack.

SECRET INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
A really chewy softer chocolate chip cookie I've been making them for a number of years now and am sorry to have forgotten which friend gave me this recipe------------ if you have quick oats you can just add them as is....but if you have the regular oatmeal you will need to process it in your blender or food processor..I always just use ouick oats because I like the look of the oats in the cookie and the secret ingredient?? lemon juice I remember thinking the 1st time I made them " lemon juice in a cookie??" according to the note at the bottom of my recipe I've written the lemon juice helps to activate the baking soda creating a chewy soft cookie I think you'll like these!!

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies. Look for chips that are made with real chocolate and have a high cocoa content.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are set around the edges and the tops are just beginning to brown.
Conclusion:
These chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your cookies turn out perfect every time. So what are you waiting for? Preheat your oven and get baking!
