Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup sourdough starter (discard)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whip together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light, airy, and irresistibly fluffy.
- Add the sourdough starter, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing well until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- 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 golden brown but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Note: This recipe is high in sugar and salt; consider adjusting amounts if you are monitoring your intake for health reasons.
Yes, but using discard prevents the cookies from becoming too sour, keeping the flavor balanced.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
Absolutely! Chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even white chocolate chips can be great additions. Adjust the mix-ins to your preference.
