SOURDOUGH "DISCARD" CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Sourdough

If you refresh your starter often, it can be a challenge finding ways to use it. Nobody in my house has ever complained when I make more chocolate chip cookies, so this combo was a no-brainer. The sour starter combined with dark brown sugar makes for a softer, chewier cookie with a complex flavor that develops as the dough chills. This recipe was created for a 100% hydration starter (fed equal parts flour and water), but a starter fed at a different ratio will work, too; you'll just get a slightly different result. The cookies might be flatter, denser or cakier-but they will still be delicious.

Time 8h40m

Yield about 28 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup sourdough starter discard at 100% hydration (fed equal parts flour and water)
1 cup chopped semisweet chocolate (about 5 ounces)

Steps:

  • Stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and sandy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in the sourdough starter, scraping down the bowl as needed to be sure it is completely combined, about 1 minute more. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture. Once the flour is moistened, increase the speed to medium and beat until uniform. Fold in the chocolate by hand and then refrigerate, covered, for 8 to 24 hours.
  • When you're ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Scoop heaping tablespoons (1 to 1 1/4 ounces each) onto 2 large ungreased baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. (You might need to do two batches.) Bake until the edges are light golden and just set, but the tops are still soft, 12 to 18 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Let cool a few minutes, then transfer the cookies using a thin spatula to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

SOURDOUGH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

This recipe uses sourdough discard from a homemade starter; the water from the discard results in a slight cakey cookie, and the browned butter lends a nutty, toasty note.

Time 1h45m

Yield Makes about 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
2 cups packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 large egg yolks, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup discard from Sourdough Starter
2 1/2 cups unbleached organic all-purpose flour
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped, or chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a saucepan over medium until it simmers and foam rises to surface. Continue cooking until solids sink to bottom and turn golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Pour into a mixing bowl, scraping in browned solids as well. Let cool 30 minutes.
  • Beat butter with sugar, baking soda, and salt on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add egg yolks and vanilla and continue beating another 1 minute. Beat in sourdough discard until combined. Add flour; beat to combine. Add chocolate; beat to combine. Let stand 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Use a 2-ounce scoop to form 1/4-cup balls of dough; arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. (Formed balls can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 24 hours, or frozen up to 1 month; if making from frozen, add about 2 minutes to baking time.)
  • Bake 9 minutes. Remove sheets from oven and bang on a hard surface or oven rack. Bake 3 minutes more; remove and bang again. Bake until cookies begin to brown at edges and are just set in center, 3 to 5 minutes more. Let cool on sheets on a wire rack 5 minutes, then transfer directly to rack and let cool completely (or serve warm). Cookies can be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh sourdough discard for the best flavor and texture.
  • If your sourdough discard is too thick, you can thin it out with a little water or milk.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately, as this will affect the final outcome of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, as this will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven, and be sure to watch them closely so that they don't overcook.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them.

Conclusion:

Sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover sourdough discard, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you have some sourdough discard on hand, be sure to try this recipe.
