Description
Sourdough Discard Chocolate Chip Cookies are irresistibly delicious cookies that incorporate sourdough discard for added flavor and texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 4 teaspoons corn starch or arrowroot
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 ½ cups browned butter, cooled
- 2 cups brown sugar
- ½ cup cane sugar
- 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt.
- In a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, beat the cooled browned butter with both sugars until creamy and slightly fluffy.
- Add the egg and egg yolk one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sourdough discard.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently.
- If the dough feels too wet, add more flour. If too dry, add a splash of melted butter.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) while the dough chills.
- Roll the dough into balls, using about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading during baking.
- Browning the butter adds a rich flavor.
- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients.
