Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 4 teaspoons corn starch or arrowroot
  • 2 teaspoons coarse salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups browned butter, cooled
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 0.5 cups cane sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sourdough discard

Chocolate Chips

  • 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Baking Process

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt.
  • In a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, beat the cooled browned butter with both sugars until creamy and slightly fluffy.
  • Add the egg and egg yolk one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sourdough discard.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently.
  • If the dough feels too wet, add more flour. If too dry, add a splash of melted butter.
  • Gently fold in the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) while the dough chills.
  • Roll the dough into balls, using about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading during baking. Browning the butter adds a rich flavor. Don’t overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients.
