Ingredients
  

  • 180 grams all purpose flour
  • 2 grams salt
  • 120 grams ripe sourdough
  • 50 grams egg
  • 120 grams unsalted butter
  • 125 grams dark brown sugar
  • 125 grams granulated sugar
  • 7 grams vanilla extract
  • 3 grams baking powder
  • 1 grams baking soda
  • 200 grams chocolate chips semi-sweet
  • 100 grams chocolate chunks dark

Instructions
 

  • The first step is to brown the butter: Add the butter into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat whisking frequently and stirring until the butter turns a light amber color and small brown solid pieces begin to form on the bottom.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and transfer the brown butter into a small bowl or container. Cover it and refrigerate until it becomes 45 minutes.
  • Once the butter has chilled, remove it from the fridge and combine it with the sugars in a mixing bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Mix using the paddle attachment and beat the mixture until evenly combined for about 3 minutes. The brown butter mixture will end up having a wet, and sandy appearance.
  • Add the sourdough starter, egg, and vanilla, and mix until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, and mix together using a whisk or a fork.
  • Add the flour mixture to the brown butter-sugar mixture, and mix just until the ingredients come together.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips until well combined in the cookie batter.
  • Scoop about 50 grams of cookie dough for each piece and place them onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, no need to separate them at this point.
  • Place the cookies into the refrigerator for two hours or freezer for 30 minutes to allow the batter to firm up.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the scooped cookies from the fridge, then place them onto the baking pans separating them about 2 1/2 inches apart. Press some chocolate chunks onto the top, about 3 to 4 pieces.
  • Bake the brown buttered sourdough cookies for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. The top of the cookies should be soft when they are fully baked.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them onto a cooling rack.
  • Enjoy!
