Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup sourdough discard
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add sourdough discard, egg, and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
  4. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft cookie dough forms.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for better texture.
  7. Scoop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet leaving space between cookies.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers remain slightly soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the tray for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps create thicker and chewier cookies.
Do not overbake if you want soft and gooey centers.
Use good-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
You can sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top after baking for extra taste.
