Description

Deliciously chewy chocolate chip cookies made with brown butter and sourdough discard, combining nutty flavor with gooey chocolate.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, brown the butter over medium heat until golden brown and nutty. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Add the egg, egg yolk, and sourdough discard, mixing until well combined.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking can improve the texture.
