Double the chocolate with these delicious sourdough discard cookies! Super easy to make in just one bowl, you’ll be coming back for them again and again!
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard*
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa or cacao powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- kosher or flaky salt for finishing
Instructions
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or grease).
2. Whisk together the butter and sugar, adding in the egg and vanilla after the butter and sugar are just incorporated. When this mixture is smooth and consistent, gently stir in the sourdough discard.
3. Add the dry ingredients (flour, cacao/cocoa, salt, and baking soda) and continue to stir gently, folding and mixing until few dry streaks remain. Add the chocolate morsels and mix until the cookie batter is uniform.
4. Drop rounded balls of cookie batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes in preheated oven. After the baking time is complete, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack or serving board and sprinkle lightly with finishing salt.
Notes
*depending on how thick/thin your discard is, you may need to add a tablespoon of milk or water to get the right cookie batter consistency
