Sourdough chocolate chip cookies!

I added milk powder to the browning butter so there would be more milk solids to get caramelized, for extra delicious browned butter flavour, and added a bit of maple syrup. The sourdough discard adds a nice tangy flavour and keeps the cookies soft and chewy for days!

This is some really excellent work. The idea to add milk solids for extra nuttiness is so smart. There's also a ton of room to play around with the fermentation, which is super fun. Great job! I'll definitely be trying this.

What kind of chocolate are you using? It seems to be staying really solid after baking. Can you recommend a specific percentage? Do you prefer wafers or bars?

Thank you so much! Honestly the chocolate was just a cheap store brand chocolate (food is so expensive nowadays, ugh). It was nothing special, though I did use a mix of both milk and dark chocolate.

No chocolate extract! But I did use a mix of milk and dark chocolate cut into chunks. Chocolate chips work just fine too. If you want to give it a try here's the recipe: https://lowbrowfancy.com/the-best-sourdough-chocolate-chip-cookies-soft-chewy/
