Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the Coffee Mixture: In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in 2 tablespoons of hot water. Let it cool.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooled brown butter, sourdough discard, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks and the cooled coffee mixture.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
