Cakey Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cakey Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

1 stick of butter cubed (room temperature)

1/2 brown sugar

1/2 granulated cane sugar 

1 egg 

1/2 sourdough starter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract 

1 3/4 cups of bread flour or all purpose flour 

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 baking powder 

1 teaspoon fine salt 

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Place the room temperature, cubed butter, light brown sugar and granulated sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Beat on low-speed until the mixture is well combined, 45-60 seconds. 

Meanwhile, in a separate small bowl, use a whisk or a fork to beat the egg, vanilla extract and sourdough starter until smooth. Set aside. 

Use a whisk or a fork to mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Set aside. 

Add the dry ingredients to your mixer, and mix on low-speed until the batter starts to become a crumbly mixture, 20-30 seconds. Pour in the egg mixture and mix on low-speed until the dough comes together and is fully incorporated, 20-30 seconds. Use a spatula to stir the batter, ensuring all of the ingredients have been fully incorporated.

Add the chocolate chips and mix on low-speed 10-15 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into 12 balls, (2 scoops per cookie) and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray. Cover the dough with a sheet of plastic wrap so they do not dry out. Chill the dough in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours or store in a tupperware container for up to 10 days. 

When ready to bake, preheat oven 350°F (190°C) and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center still appears slightly under-baked. Remove and allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
