Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 - 3.5 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 - 2 cups chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Mix together the eggs, discard, and vanilla. Set aside.
  2. Cream together butter, brown sugar, white sugar.
  3. Add sourdough mixture to the creamed mixture.
  4. Add flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  5. Mix until everything is combined, then stir in 1-2 cups of chocolate chips. Cover bowl with lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate 4-12 hours.
  6. I like to mix the dough in the evening, refrigerate over night and bake in the morning. Or mix in the morning, refrigerate all day and bake fresh cookies with our evening meal. After refrigeration, your dough will be very stiff and hard to scoop, this is normal.
  7. Bake at 350℉ for approximately 12 minutes. Smaller cookies will take less time.

Notes

The reason the flour measurement will vary is because your sourdough hydration varies from kitchen to kitchen. Your dough should be very stiff but not crumbly.
