Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips can use dark, milk, or white chocolate

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sourdough discard, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix well.
  3. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and stir until fully combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies look slightly underbaked in the center.
  3. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to three months. Consider adding nuts or dried fruits for extra texture.
