Sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies 

Servings: 20

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter barely melted but not too hot see photo above
  • ½ cup sourdough discard
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips I used half chips and half chunks but either is fine
  • Coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking soda and the salt: Set aside.
  • In a large bowl beat together the butter, sourdough discard, sugars, vanilla extract and the vinegar until smooth. Beat in the egg just until combined.
  • Mix the flour mixture into the wet mixture just until combined. Stir in the chips.
  • Allow these to rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours
  • To bake:
  • Using a large cookie scoop (about 2 rounded tablespoons) drop about 3 inches apart onto cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, they will look light brown around the edges and will look underdone in the center. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle each cookie with a little sea salt. Allow to sit on the sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a rack to cool.
