Instructions

  • 1 cup browned butter (250 g)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup potato flake sourdough starter
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2¾ cupsflour
  • 2 TBS cornstarch
  • 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ● Instructions
  • First start by browning you butter. This process will take about 5 minutes.
  • In medium sized pot, place your butter and turn the stove heat to medium.
  • Stir the butter occasionally as it melts. Once it starts to get foamy, you are
  • really close, so don't take your eyes off of it.
  • Once it gets foamy lift your pot from the heat, to see if you can see any
  • brown fleck towards the bottom of the pot. Return to the heat. Once the
  • butter is browned sufficiently, you will see lots of brown flecks throughout
  • the butter.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the cooled butter with the brown
  • and white sugars. Mix well.
  • Add the egg yolks, sourdough starter, and vanilla. Mix until incorporated.
  • Add all of the remaining dry ingredients, except for the chocolate chips.
  • Mix until no flour can be seen, but don't overmix.
  • Lastly, stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Cover the bowl the dough is in with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least
  • 8 hours. Personally, I will make the dough the day before and refrigerate
  • overnight, it seems easier that way.
  • Prior to baking, preheat the oven to 375°. Line a cookie sheet with
  • parchment paper and scoop the dough onto the pan.
  • Bake for 7-9 minutes or until the edges are fairly brown (it's a darker
  • dough because of the browned butter).
  • Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring
  • them to a cooling rack.

Notes

● Browned Butter Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies
These browned butter sourdough chocolate chip cookies are just as good as the
sound. The potato flake sourdough starters adds a special sweetness and give
these cookies the best chewy texture. They may be the best chocolate chip
cookie you ever have.
