Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup + 1 tsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup + 1 tsp bread flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients 1
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup sourdough discard
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Wet Ingredients 2
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
Instructions
1. Mix the dry ingredients in a small bowl.
2. whisk the egg, vanilla, and sourdough in another bowl and discard until smooth.
3. In a stand mixer, quickly beat the cold butter with the sugars until it forms small crumbles (about 45-60 seconds). Add the chocolate chips and mix for 30 seconds.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the mixer until crumbly (20-30 seconds). Pour in the egg mixture and mix until just combined.
5. Scoop the dough into 12 large balls, place them on a parchment-lined tray, and chill for 2-24 hours.
6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Let cool before serving.
Notes
