Ingredients
 

  • 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup sourdough discard
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • 1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter, granulated
    sugar, dark, and light brown sugar for 3 minutes. Add the discard, eggs, and
    vanilla and mix on medium-high for about 1 minute.
  • 2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed. Add the baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt. Mix for 30 seconds. Slowly add the all-purpose flour until just incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and beat for a few seconds on low speed
    or fold in by hand.
  • 3. Chill in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours before scooping.
  • 4. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly to make
    scooping easier.
  • 5. Scoop 2 tablespoon balls of dough onto the cookie sheet and spread cookie dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10
    minutes until edges are just golden. Make sure not to over-bake, the cookies
    will set up as they cool.
  • 6. Remove from oven, let cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, and then transfer to wire rack to finish cooling. (Store in an airtight container.)
