Description
Deliciously chewy cookies made with sourdough discard, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips for a unique flavor twist.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sourdough discard, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Allow cooling on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For the best results, avoid over-mixing the dough. Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain chewiness.
