Three (top notch) (totally awesome) (majorly job applicable) (important!) skills I’d like to add to my job resume. (Yes… this is a place my mind wanders.)
– Outrageous use of punctuation and constant abuse of sentence structure. While at first troublesome and awkward, the abuse does (over time) lend itself to a conversational and relatable tone.
– Able to catch any cell phone as it falls through the air towards the floor. It’s a super power… I’ve got it.
– Adept at combining busy prints with colorful plaids in office wear outfits… without causing serious blindness.
Bonus!
– Consistent cookies at work. I bring em. I mean, come on!
Wait… do people still know how to write resumes? Is that still a thing kids learn in school, or is everyone just building the Internet these days? What’s going on… and when did I start sounding like a kooky old lady!?
These cookies are full of everything you would expect: dark chocolate chips, pure vanilla extract, and sugars.
These cookies also have a few bonus ingredients: black sesame seeds and soy sauce.
I put soy sauce in cookies. Just a touch. I think it adds a really subtle earthy saltiness. It’s the little thing in these cookies that make you go… hm!!
Butter and sugar is where it all begins.
If you don’t have a stand mixer, feel free to use hand beaters or just a bowl and wooden spoon.
Either way you mix it, you’ll want the butter and sugar to come to this creamy and fluffy consistency.
Add eggs and beat until thick and creamy.
Simple dry ingredients. Just flour, baking soda, and salt.
Sesame seeds and a toothsome and just slightly savory quality to these cookies. I like to add just a touch of coarse sea salt to the top of the cookies before they bake.
These cookies are chewy-salty chocolate-sesame studded-good times. They’re different. They’re pretty… just like your shoes and your hair.
I have always been a major advocate of bringing fresh baked cookies to a job interview. Tell people they have soy sauce in them, but only if you want to show off.
Sesame and Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
makes 20 to 24 cookies
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 to 1 teaspoon soy sauce (don’t be scared)
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
1 cup dark chocolate chips
about 1/4 cup black sesame seeds for rolling and coarse sea salt for topping
Place racks in the center and upper third of the oven and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside and we’ll preheat the oven after we chill the dough.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the butter mixture with a spatula. Add the egg and egg yolk and beat on medium speed until mixture is fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and soy sauce. Stop the mixer and add the dry ingredients, all at once to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed until just combined. Stop the mixer, add the sesame seeds and chocolate chunks, and fold together with a spatula until well combined. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 45 minutes.
Just before you’re ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place about 1/4 cup black sesame seeds in a small bowl.
Scoop cookie dough by the heaping tablespoonful into your hand. Roll into a ball, and toss around in the black sesame seeds. The dough balls don’t need to be completely covered in seeds, just coated well. Place on prepared baking sheets. Bake for about 12 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven, allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container. Cookies will last for a day or two. The oils on the seeds can tend to go rancid. These cookies are best eaten within a few days. That shouldn’t be much trouble!
Judi Holmes
LOVE LOVE LOVE your cookie recipe! Someone I just met made the cookies and they were so delicious. So i’m going to try them also. Thank you!!!
kaylee
just baked these. they’re super interesting and delicious. definitely not your average cookie. the soy sauce is subtle and adds a nice layer of flavor. mine took a little bit longer to bake (about 15 minutes) — but my oven has a mind of its own. i also needed more black sesame seeds for rolling the cookies than the recipe calls for — about 1/2 C. thanks for the recipe!
Rachel
I have these chillin’ in the fridge right now! I’m not gonna lie..I tried some of the dough and it was delish!
Kim
Hello Joy, I just want to let you know that I made these Salty Sesame Chocolate Chip Cookies and posted them to my site, with full credit and link back. I found them deliciously intriguing and incredibly satisfying. Thank you so much for posting this recipe and for your beautiful web site. You can find my post at http://www.thefinercookie.com/salty-sesame-and-dark-chocolate-chip-cookies/2015/8/24/salty-sesame-and-dark-chocolate-chip-cookies?rq=sesame. When you have a moment, please come visit.
All the best to you. Keep up the great work,
Kim

Mmmmm I was so looking forward to the salty earthyness professed by others… instead these cookies taste like sugar. Recommendation: halve the sugar and you might get the benefit of the other cool ingredients ;)
Sarah
I made these for the staff at work and they DEVOURED them! Everyone wanted the recipe and couldn’t tell there was soy sauce in there. Fantastic cookies!
Corrie
yes! this is what the japanese do with their sweets. a LOT of japanese food (savory and sweet) has shoyo (soy sauce) and sugar together. teriyaki is basically just those two ingredients and you can add garlic, green onions, etc. i love eating fresh, homemade mochi with sugar and shoyu.
Michelle
Just made these, so easy and really tasty! I couldn’t wait to chill the dough for so long, and though it made for sticky fingers, it was fine. Thank you for another great recipe!
Baker_D
Dear Joy,
Just made these tonight for my bf’s nut-free mama who’s coming to stay with us this weekend. I had thought that the pistachio, smoked sea salt, chocolate cookie recipe was my favorite to come out of the cookie part of your brain but These. May. Top. Those. Lady, these are good stuff. Relatedly, I don’t mind not shelling lots of pistachios. Thanks for another winner.
Fondly,
d
Emilie
Has anybody tried freezing these cookies since the sesame causes them to spoil rather quickly? They are AMAZING and I want to contribute them to a get-together but would need to make them a bit in advance.
Thanks
Evi
These were great. Played around with the ingredients based on what I had, but I loved the idea of adding sesame seeds and soy sauce. Funny to see people’s reactions!
Jen W
I made these last night to take to a holiday party today. Delicious! I love the addition of soy sauce. They did spread quite a bit though – I ended up cutting them into cookie strips and pretending I planned that all along.
Leslie
This recipe intrigued me (yea, you had me at black sesame seeds, but the soy sauce was the final straw). These might be the best cookies I’ve ever eaten.
By the way, black sesame seeds can be found at low prices at many Asian markets!
Tom
Great recipe, glad I found this on Pinterest. Where do you get your black sesame seeds? I get mine from EatSeed.com
Great site. Thanks for sharing!
Dani
Haha. I’m feeling you on the resume woes… although I haven’t tried bringing cookies to an interview yet – maybe that’s my problem?
I’m just about finished making these, though with balsamic reduction sauce rather than soy. I’ve eaten enough of the dough to know that they will be great! Awesome recipe, thanks for posting it :)
Elizabeth@ Food Ramblings
Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Sarah
Hi – I want to make these for a party – do I sprinkle the sea salt on top of the balls before baking?
Thanks!!
Sarah
Emma
Thanks so much for this recipe Joy. My brother in law and I have a tradition of trying out one of your recipes every time he comes back home from University. We made these last night and they were incredible. The soy sauce was an inspired addition. You have very happy fans down here in New Zealand!
mlj
Just made ’em- can’t stop seating the dough! Made some with chocolate and some without- YUMMO!
Kim W
You are brilliant, Joy! I just made a batch and they are fantastic. So unique and so tasty! :-)
Joyce
Baking these now. One word – awesome !! As always, you rock. Thanks foe being you!
AJ
What a fun recipe! I was very excited to try these, but got mixed results. While baking, the cookies spread out to fill both the cooking sheets- not very attractive, but still very tasty. Not sure what went wrong since I made the cookies slightly smaller than the recipe suggested (32 balls). Love the taste, but wish they didn’t spread. :/
Sarah
I had this problem too! I’m fairly certain my problem was either 1) the fact that I used gf flour…and a blend I’ve never tried before, so I had no clue how it would bake up, or 2) I chilled the dough for just barely 45 minutes because my boyfriend kept stealing spoonfuls of dough out of the fridge. I seriously can’t wait to tell him the dough had soy sauce in it. :) But also, I know that accidentally adding too much sugar can cause cookies to spread, and the texture and flavor can make that pretty obvious.
Joy, do you have any other ideas?
Lynda
Do you use dark or light soy sauce for this?
Shaleen
I totally used to dip my fortune cookies into soy sauce as a kid. This recipe was made for me!
chuishia
I just baked these. Yummy!! But I think I’ll add just a bit more soy sauce and salt. The flavour didn’t really come through.
jillian
Oooh, sweet and salty…I’m sold. You are so darn creative–soy sauce in cookies? My adventurous side is verrrry intrigued. This is happening.
Also, you should totally add the brings-cookies-to-work thing to your resume. I may have mentioned I secretly possess the ability to toss pizza dough the other day in a job interview…and they told me I should put THAT on my resume. True story. So there. You should do it!
Laura
Those really are top notch!
I wonder if made thicker they would work well as a base for Filthy Brownies – cookie dough, Rolos and brownie mix, layered, baked and served warm.

I made these cookies Saturday night and my raw food-obsessed roommate could not get enough of them! She never eats sweets, so it was a pretty big deal for her to eat 5 cookies fresh out of the oven (oh, and she helped me lick the bowl clean, too!). They were such a hit that I made them again on Sunday, took them to a party, and everyone ADORED them. Thank you for the amazing recipe!!!
Tanja
Hi,
just made the cookies yesterday for a danish easterlunch – and they were great! Forgot to frezze them, but they turned out really good anyways!!
Thank you for some really good recepes!
Tanja, from Denmark
Gerry @ Foodness Gracious
Salty, sesame sassiness all rolled up into one globule of goodness. Another epic wonder!
Cheers
Live a Sweet Life
You always have the most unique recipes. Thanks for being such an awesome blogger!
Zo @ Two Spoons
Yum, another food blogger friend posted about miso sesame cookies, which also work amaaazingly with honey and chocolate chips in place of sesame. Soy sauce would perform a similar function to the miso, so these look like a real winner!
Talia
Joy!
I ran out to scrounge up some black sesame seeds and dark chocolate disks for these cookies and they turned out amazing. Perhaps my favorite recipe of yours so far. These definitely inspire me to play around in the kitchen!
Also your book stop in PDX was great – don’t let the road wear you down too much!
joythebaker
I’m so glad you made these and loved them! You’re favorite recipe yet!? Amazing. That makes me so happy!
lidia
I trust you Joy, completely
but why am I terrified of the idea of putting soy sauce in my chocolate chip cookies? >.<
Kelly
I just have to tell you…
I think you are a wonderful person. I have not met you but i love your writing, your honesty as much as I like your recipes. You are your name ,and I wish you all the sucsess with your book and the many more I expect to come in the future…. Yay
joythebaker
thank you for such kindness!!
Jenny
delightful as ever!
Rocky Mountain Woman
Wowsa! Love this idea….
How fun!!
Katie@Cozydelicious
Yum! I love, love, love this idea. Sesame is awesome, of course. And putting soy sauce in cookies is so daring! Like the skydiving of cookie baking!
Marilyn
Kooky old lady or not I’ll love you forever and ever!
lis
I love lots of salty in my sweets so these cookies looked like they’d be right up my alley. I was right. They are SO GOOD. I made a batch last night, and knowing I would eat them all myself otherwise, I brought them in to work to hand out. I think my job security just increased by 1 tsp or so of soy sauce. Good decision all around. Another good decision: having a fourth cookie today, which I’ll go do now. YUM.
Vicki B
P.S. I’m very proud of you.
Vicki B
These sound utterly amazing! I can’t believe I missed your book tour in northern California. So disappointed. (Unexpected illness in the family) I hope you come this way again.
:D
I just discovered your blog for the first time and I was put to tears of joy just reading your blog and watching your videos. I love your storytelling of how your baking starts out with your Dad and became a passion and part of your life. I love how you continue to bake as a tradition for your Dad…his love for pies. Your Dad must be proud of you and he should be proud of himself for raising you up well. You are such a good daugter. Thank you for your blogging and sharing your stories, your life and your recipes…and congratulations on your first cookbook. I will be purchasing one today!
Chris
What if I added a little citrus kick to these? Would that be acceptable, too?
Emma
Joy, you have this crazy ablity to make your recipes look so easy and doable which makes me want to make them all! I’m loving this crazy combo of soy and sesame seeds.
Anna @ the shady pine
These look amazing and I love that you’ve used sesame in these cookies!
Amanda K
You are like the coolest person I’ve never met. Who else has the confidence and creativity to post a recipe for cookies that has soy sauce and get a hundred loyal fans dying to try it as soon as possible?
can i be just like you when i grow up?
Shalan @ the long road
Oh Dear God. I need these. I’ve been thinking about chocolate chip cookies all day – and then this happens. Chocolate and salt and sesame. Yum.
love,
Shalan
Cassandra
You know, soy sauce isn’t so strange. I’m a Classics scholar, and the ancients used Garum (fish sauce) as a form of seasoning . . . even in desserts! It doesn’t taste like fish, in case you’re wondering . . . it just adds a bit of savory-ness and umami, dare I say?
Melby
Umami in my cookie! Yay! Lol.
Umami. It’s not just for steak any more.
AnneMarie@simplysweeter.blogspot.com
These are genius!
Miss @ Miss in the Kitchen
I would think saying “Um I’m Joy the Baker” would do for a resume. Seriously love these cookies and your cookbook too!
Melby
These look so nom! I can’t wait to try them.
I used to work for a little indie coffee shop and we had a frozen blended drink made with black sesame seeds. It had that wonderful toasty sesame flavor. I alway thought it tasted sorta like the milk left over at the end of my honey nut cheerios bowl, lol. Delish. I’ll have to look up the recipe and send it to you. :-)
Jess
Mmmmm, those look yummy. I’m gonna have to go out and buy some black sesame seeds.
Jacqui
These sound so good, must try!
Melanie
Considering I love all these ingredients, I not opposed to try it!! Joy, U are so fun, and I havent even met YOU!!!!
Katie
I think consistent cookies at work would be a welcome addition to any resume. That’s one thing I’d look for in a job candidate. These cookies are out of control.
Lydia
Joy, Thank you for being you and for sharing your 3 awesome resume skills. It brings a smile to my face.
jen @ the baked life
soy sauce in chocolate chip cookies.
MIND BLOWING.
Jenna
Wow. I’ve never heard of using soy sauce in a cookie and I never would have thought of it! That’s so interesting. I’ll definitely have to try it. :)
Melody Rich
Ohhh, those look amazing. So creative!
Beth
When I first saw your opening picture, I definitely thought you made muffins. Then you totally blew my mind saying they were cookies! Gosh, I love surprises : ) Thanks for the great post!
Jillian @ Newly Bread
Wow! I feel like I HAVE to make these! So, I will! Love the creativity!
patosyguacamole
OMG!! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM…MIAM!
Kendra
Is this chocolate/soy sauce combination adapted from your idea for popcorn with soy sauce, or just another ingenious creation entirely? (P.S., I got the wonderful privilege of meeting you in Chicago and you answered a question about a recipe you’re trying to make work.)
Speaking of that recipe: what if you did a salty/sweet caramel corn and incorporated the soy sauce by roasting peanuts in a sugary/soy saucy mixture? And then adding the peanuts to the popcorn and dousing it all in ridonkulous amounts of caramel and course sea salt and maybe a few chunks of dark chocolate(????)
Thanks for this wonderful recipe! Best wishes :)
Melissa @ Journey to Marvelous
I never would have thought to add soy sauce to a cookie…what an interesting idea! I do think the sesame seeds make these especially pretty.
Valerie @ all mussed up
Ooh la la, these are simply too chic! It’s like Coco Chanel is stopping by for tea.
Girl, you KNOW she’d approve.
Jenn
Wow, I love this idea! Will try these out for sure!
Gen
I love sesame in cookies, it gives a nice flavor to them!
Sally @ Spontaneous Hausfrau
These are a really cool idea – it’s just a touch of soy, so I can see how it adds that “hmm” and not “eww.” I just need to hunt down the black sesame seeds for it!
Le Citron
Hey ! Your cookies look wonderfull !
More than this cookies, your book is realy great ! I love it !
Your are an inspration for my and many other person !!!
If you come in France a day to sign up send my a email !
Archer
Since I go to Bastyr… which is hippie food central…a friend used fish sauce to make her vegan cookies taste better… So yeah, soy sauce in cookies, yes! Although I can’t have soy since its not a-f, I’ll have to try it with coconut aminos some time!
Leandra
You had me at salty!! I LOVE salt and chocolate, but you’ve definitely taken it to another level with the soy sauce. I’m so intrigued–these look fantastic!
xoxo
L
Anne
I am completely fascinated by these. For one thing I love sesame seeds, and I love chocolate chip cookies…so for me these cookies are like a ‘voila!’ moment. The soy sauce is a little freaky, but I trust your baking sense and your tastebuds. Now I want to try making these. As for bringing cookies to job interviews, I totally almost brought some to an interview the other week but it just feels so much like a bribe- lol! Well…I guess it kind of IS. Oh well, next time. :P
Naomi Anselmo
I just love the combinations you come up with, these look so good! And I wish I could have seen you when you were in St. Louis. You should come to Springfield, MO too, someday – even if you just come to my house and eat my inferior, boring food.
sara
These cookies look wonderful! What a great twist on chocolate chip cookies, YUM! :)
Emilia
Haha, I totally get the three skills thing! I always think that when I’m writing out a cv or cover letter. My skills may not be standard, but I have some random ones that might come in handy :)
These cookies look delicious, I love the idea of adding in some soy sauce. Sounds fantastic!
Elise
As someone who also uses a LOT of punctuation in her writing, I’ve always had the belief that as long as you have and follow a style guide (even if it’s your own personal style guide that uses two spaces after periods and colons, made-up super-long-hyphenated words, lots of nested parentheses, and puts the period outside the quotation mark unless it was part of the actual quoted text, in which case you use a period both before and after the quotation mark!), your writing is totally correct.
Ironically, I almost typed “you’re” instead of “your” in that last sentence. Just goes to show you can have all the MLA or non-MLA style you want and still make dumb mistakes.
Also, these cookies: awesome!
Melody (Redhead in the Kitchen)
At first I was like, “ew”. Then I was all “whoa”. You’re brilliant!
Samantha
Whoa! Totally making these tonight!!
danguole
Joy, I love all your creations, but this is outrageously brilliant. Seriously, go you.
Greta
Joy, you’re the best! I love how grounded you are. I know that when you meet the public eye, you necessarily put the best foot forward, but you also bring yourself very uniquely and very honestly to each encounter. It’s a wonderful quality to have… keep cultivating it!
Alexis
i like how you wrote “don’t be scared” next to the soy sauce on the ingredients list. because when i saw soy sauce as an ingredient, i said to myself, “these look totally awesome – but there’s no way i’m making them with soy sauce.” how’d you know i’d be scared??! mind reading. another superpower to add to the rez.
Lauren
Love the cookies – also love the list of skills…I think I need the superpower that lets you catch your phone before it smashes to the floor…my poor phone well let’s just say it’s met my tile floors one to many times.
Irina (Fit Flexitarian)
Salty and sweet?! Amazing. As a big fan of sesame seeds and cookies, this combination is absolutely… divine… *dreamy sigh*
As for the resume, I think people are mostly moving to LinkedIn now. The nice thing is that they DO have a pretty awesome skills section, so you can totally add those in ;-)
Robyn
ummmm i have a job interview this afternoon…..i did not make cookies…but i shall let them know that their office will never lack fresh baked goodness!
Cookie + Kate
Woah there, Joy. These look and sound incredible. Never seen a cookie quite like these!
Grubarazzi (@Grubarazzi)
These are so creative… as per usual. Love the little touch of soy and seeds. Nommmm.
Raquel @ Ovenmitts Blog
Whenever I think, “Okay, she’s done. there’s nothing more that Joy can dream up that I’ve never heard of” you come out with something totally crazy and new. Go you! These look… interesting? But in a good way!
Ellen
Aw Joy, you’re not kooky, but a cookie old lady (aha, pun..)! You’ll be one hellofa grandma someday. And I mean that in the best way possible.
Janet
Hey cookie woman! These look speck-tack-u-lure!!!
About resumes. Yes, they do. Write them. Our 10th grader just finished her very 1st resume last night. The assignment was to to the resume for her future age 30 (!) self! And Gabe did his first resume as a Junior in High School for an event called Job Shadow Day.

Becca - Cookie Jar Treats
Wow. I think I may have heard of sesame seeds in a cookie, but never soy sauce. This looks really interesting, and I’d be willing to try it (plus I really like the taste and texture sesame seeds bring to foods :P )
Corrie
ooo those have to be good!!
Nina @ ambrosia
Hmmmm, these sound really intriguing! I love the combination of sweet and salty together in one bite, so I definitely am going to give these a try. If anything, it’ll be so that I can figure out what a cookie with soy sauce tastes like. They look great!
Katie @ OhShineOn
Hold the phone… Hold. The. Phone. Missy. These are cool… Really cool. Like superhero cool. Sesame seeds and dark chocolate…. In cooooookies?
Wow. Just…. Wow.
Samantha Angela
These sound awesome!
Katherine
OMG! I can’t wait to try these and amaze my friends with their deliciousness…. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes!
jen
whoa craziness! I just posted a recipe for black sesame cocoa brownies with salted caramel ganache and black hawaiian salt today! Apparently chocolate, sesame and salt are a winning combo today! Those cookies look droolworthy!
raven
these look so good! i can’t wait to try veganizing them!
Reese
Joy!
I’m super interested in various alcoholic beverages as of right now.
& the one I’m most interested in is Melomel!
& brewing delicious homemade fruity mead sounds like you.
Please do it & show me how easy it is for you so I can work up the courage to do so!
Victoria (District Chocoholic)
I’ve had sesame and chocolate together, but not with soy sauce. I love it for the extra salt.
Wasabi next time?
Lindsay @ The Live-In Kitchen
Woah! Crazy and delicious looking. Pure Joy, as always.
Michaele
Wowza! No more need to dip a chip in ice-cream! Yep, that’s right! Satisfying my crazy salty-sweet cravings right in a cookie!! Who knew….soy sauce!? They sound magical and for that reason, I’m baking some up today!
Love your great stuff!
Wish we’d see you in NC….maybe someday……
Nicole D.
“I have always been a major advocate of bringing fresh baked cookies to a job interview.”
Wow, I guess I have been living under a rock; why the EFF did I not think of that…….sheesh. NEXT TIME!!
Thanks for the tip!!
Adrienne @ How to Ice a Cake
I have been on a sesame seed kick lately so these are right up my alley. Also kudos on the whole soy sauce thing, kind of genius.
Elizabeth Ann
what an interesting combination! :-) I’ll have to try these out!
Amy (CookingScraps)
For the record- proper sentence structure is totally overrated (I might also feel that way because I hail from Pittsburgh). Yesterday I found myself looking up how to use a semicolon vs a colon and then realized that there is life to be lived instead… and apparently cookies that need to be baked!
Angie
this is so…odd. But somehow I really want to eat them! Sometimes I wish I could taste things over the internet!

Shelby @ Lady Gouda
I am intrigued…. first by the sesame seeds (love them), then by the soy sauce. OH, and by the dark chocolate, but dark chocolate always intrigues me. I can picture how these babies taste, but I think I might have to make a batch just to confirm my suspicions that they are as delicious as they look!
Lauren at Keep It Sweet
Now this I need to try!
Louisa
This cookie looks amazing. Soy sauce? Seriously? I gotta try it!
Sara {Home is Where the Cookies Are}
Yum! These look delicious and perfect! I love flat, perfectly round cookies that have the crunchy edge and soft center. And I love sesame seeds too – such a unique combo.
Shannon
These sound so wonderful!
Kathryn
This is like the sweet/salty combo taken to a whole new level!

I use soy sauce all the time but never in cookies.
Interesting idea. I’ll have to try it

I LOVE the sound of these! Intrigued by the soy sauce but can imagine it works as I love all that salty sweet flavour…I SO have to bake these this weekend.

I’m not even a baker – and I can tell you that these are the next cookies I’m going to make!
Holly
Soy sauce in cookies!!?? I was going to bake some regular old chocolate chip cookies this weekend but you’ve got my interest piqued. I’ll be trying these instead. :)
Holly
Just made these. They were fabulous! Soy sauce is an excellent addition. Thanks for the recipe :)
Linds @ The MuffinTin Post
I love, love, love, love black sesame! There’s a black sesame smoothie at a restaurant in the Philadelphia Chinatown that I consider my favorite dessert on the planet. I can’t wait to make these cookies!
Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes
This sounds so interesting! I’m very curious how they will taste. Can’t wait to try these!
Julia {The Roasted Root}
Thanks for the continual tips and tricks (amazed by the soy sauce)! You’re a natural!
Danni
I can relate to the outrageous use of punctuation! I use exclamation marks way too much! I think it makes me sound super excited though, so it’s all good. I’m just enthusiastic! Love the cookies!
Anna
Let’s hope this is the secret to landing a job/internship for the summer! Bonus: if not, I get to keep the cookies. Can’t wait to make these. Thanks again Joy; can’t wait to see you in NYC!
jackie @ marin mama cooks
These cookies are defiantly something I have never encountered? Soy sauce and sesame seeds? You come up with the best concoctions. I have to try them because I am so curious.
The thing I love about blogging is not worrying about grammatical stuff. My 12 year old actually corrects my writing quite often, Oops!
brianne
Hm, my interest is piqued! I love soy sauce and I love chocolate. Think I have to make these soon! Thanks, Joy!
Mai Nguyen
Soy sauce huh? Sounds very interesting!
lynn @ the actor's diet
beautiful! want.
nicole @ bread & silk
oh, joy! you never fail to supply us with creative recipes. soy sauce + black sesame? i gotta try it! xo nicole
Jessie
Soy sauce in cookies – I am intrigued! Thanks for another totally unique recipe!
Margarita
These cookies look delicious! I love sweet and salty combos… in fact, there are some days when I crave corn chips and chocolate together. These cookies are right up my alley. P.S. I made your poppy seed crackers with the half and half and your orange cream cheese pound cake. Delicious beyond imagination! You are awesome!
Alison
Soy sauce?! That’s wild and crazy!
Kelly@frugal foodie family
What the what?! Soy sauce in cookies? I HAVE to try it! And when are you coming to Orange County for a book signing?!
Bronwyn
Yum, these look so good. I love the look of a sesame covered cookie. These are now next on my “to-make” list.
Leah
Looks delicious! I can’t wait to try them :D
Holiday Baker Man
So awesome!
lauren @ the talking kitchen
i love blog writing because i can just talk aloud and type, add punctuation wherever.i.want, make up words, type sounds, and most of all ignore all rules regarding capitalization.
and I love your writing!
and that cookie idea, soy sauce is sure to impress!
Averie @ Averie Cooks
Excellent looking cookies! Sweet, savory, and tons of texture..all in one.
And blog writing is not like writing a term paper or a thesis. It’s conversational, it’s fun, and it involves rampant use of punctuation errors and grammatical errors that would make one flunk out of college English but that makes your readers love you and be able to relate :)
maryfran @ frannycakes
Um, I totally told my current boss and coworkers that if they hired me I would bake for them. I should have put it on my resume… I maintain that the promise of butter and sugar on a regular basis is why they hired me to be a big fancy website designer.
These look totes amazing. I love the idea of savory ingredients with my sugar – I can pretend that it is a real dinner :)
Ginny
I want these now. Like, makethemtonighteventhoughit’s11:07 now.
Yum!
Jessica @ bake me away!
Wow, I want soy sauce in my cookies… I used to joke about attaching a cookie to my resume, but now that doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.
Kelly
These sound crazy! I can’t wait to try ’em!

I often think that my constant cookie supply should be enough to hire me anywhere. Google? Apple? Wieden+Kennedy? Are you listening?
Seriously though: these look awesome. I’m all about them. I’m also all about your book tour, which makes me sad because this little town doesn’t get your lovin! No harsh feelings: I wouldn’t stop here either.
Keep up the yummy recipes and hilarious anecdotes!

Stop it. Sweet and salty?? You’re killing me! This is my dream cookie right here. D-R-E-A-M. Do you know what I’m saying? I going to need you to apply at my job and bring these. I’d hire you to do anything.
And I’m super sorry I couldn’t make it to the Chicago book tour stop. But know that you were in my heart of hearts and I was cheering you on out here in the Midwest.
Love your face, Joy!
