Description
Delicious cookies that combine the richness of brown butter with tangy sourdough discard, resulting in crispy edges and chewy centers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat until browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix browned butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Stir in sourdough discard until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto lined baking sheets and bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden.
Notes
For best texture, chill the dough and fully brown the butter without burning it. Consider adding nuts or different types of chocolate chips for variation.
