Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 95 grams All Purpose Flour
- 125 grams Bread Flour
- 5 grams Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 Large Egg
- 125 grams Sourdough Discard
- 5 grams Pure Vanilla Extract
- 113 grams Unsalted Browned Butter (cold, cubed)
- 100 grams Brown Sugar
- 100 grams Granulated Sugar
- 1 bag Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Notes
- Sift the all-purpose flour and bread flour into a bowl. Whisk in baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, use a whisk to beat the egg, vanilla extract, and sourdough starter until smooth. Set aside.
- Place browned butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed until the mixture forms small crumbles, 45-60 seconds. Add the chocolate chips and mix on low speed for 30-45 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until the batter starts to become a crumbly mixture, 20-30 seconds. Pour in the egg mixture and mix on low speed until the dough comes together and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, 20-30 seconds. Fold in chocolate chips. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Use a spatula to stir the batter, ensuring all of the ingredients have been fully incorporated.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into 12 balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray. Cover the dough with a sheet of plastic wrap so they do not dry out. Chill the dough in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Bake in a preheated, 375°F oven for 15-17 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center still appears slightly under-baked. Remove and allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
