Soy Sauce Chocolate Chip Cookies

Soy sauce chocolate chip cookies may sound a little strange, but after adding a teaspoon of Kikkoman's to a few different chocolate chip cookie recipes, I'd say it's worth trying at least once. I liked it. Then again, there wasn't much not to like because the flavor was so very subtle.

After adding the soy sauce, the dough smelled like browned butter. When baked, the flavor was barely detectable, but seemed to make the other flavors linger a little longer and added a slightly sour after taste. I'll update this when I try the recipe with regular soy sauce, but right now I'm using reduced sodium.

Soy sauce or not, this is a pretty good cookie recipe. The "soy sauce free" version is on Land o' Lakes.
