Description

Chewy and flavorful chocolate chip cookies made with tangy sourdough discard, adding depth and a slight tang to this classic treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and sourdough discard. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are set.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use discard that’s not too old for best flavor balance.
  • Cookies can be frozen and baked directly from the freezer.
  • Add nuts for extra crunch if desired.
