Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 120 grams Sourdough discard
- 210 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 200 grams Chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter until just melted but not hot. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and whisk until well combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the egg, mixing until smooth.
Add the sourdough discard and whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your sourdough chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
