Stop throwing away your sourdough discard and make these delicious cookies instead 🍪😍 #sourdough

Store-bought cookies? Packed with unnecessary junk. These sourdough cookies? A game-changer! ✨ Not only does the sourdough fermentation process enhance flavor, but it also makes them easier to digest and more nutrient-rich. Here’s how to make them: Ingredients: • 226 g unsalted butter (browned) (2 sticks) • 100 g light brown sugar • 120 g granulated sugar • 2 large egg yolks • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract • 140 g sourdough discard • 340 g all-purpose flour • 1 tsp baking powder • 1 tsp baking soda • pinch of salt • semisweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate as many as you desire 😜 1️⃣ Brown the Butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, then increase heat to medium, stirring constantly. Once it turns golden with brown flecks and stops sizzling, remove from heat. Pour into a heatproof bowl and let it cool to room temperature. 2️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients: Once the butter has cooled, stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the sourdough discard and mix well. 3️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated. 4️⃣ Fold in Chocolate: Use a spatula to gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks. 5️⃣ Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and chill in the fridge for at least 30-60 minutes, or preferably overnight. 6️⃣ Bake: Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1 ½ tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are slightly soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before enjoying every perfectly chewy bite. 🍪✨ Trust me, these are worth every step!
