Step-by-Step Instructions for Sourdough Discard Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the sourdough discard, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring gently until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips to ensure even distribution throughout the dough.
  6. Scoop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave space for spreading. Bake for 8-11 minutes.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
