Ingredients
- 14 tbsp unsalted cold butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, or coconut sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 2 cups flour, regular or gluten free
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch sea salt, optional
- 1 ½ cups chopped chocolate bars
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter and light brown sugar. Mix on high until combined, about 2 to 3 minutes. Mix until no clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in egg and vanilla. Mix to combine.
- Add in sourdough discard, flour, baking soda and sea salt. Mix until a thick dough is formed.
- Fold in most of the chocolate chunks. Reserve a few for the tops of the cookies.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop out balls of dough onto lined pan. Press a chocolate chunk in the middle of each dough ball. Space at least 3 inches apart on pan.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Cookies will look very soft and gooey.
- Allow cookies to fully cool on pan before trying to remove. They are soft!
Notes
- Use cold butter right from the fridge. Do not use soft or melted butter.
- I used a gluten free sourdough starter discard. It had been in my fridge for 2 weeks when I made this recipe.
- Both regular and gluten free discard work.
- Both regular and gluten free flour work.
- Dough will be very thick.
- Use an ice cream scoop to help scoop balls of dough.
- These cookies are very soft and gooey.
- Resist the temptation to bake them longer. They will firm up a little as they cool.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze for up to 1 month.
