Ingredients
  

  • cups flour (195 grams)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • cup brown sugar (packed) (60 grams)
  • cup granulated sugar (66 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons sourdough discard (40 grams)
  • ¼ cup +½ tablespoon butter (soft - cubed) (65 grams)
  • ½ cup + 1 ½ tablespoons chocolate chips (or chopped nuts or a combination) (100 grams)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder.
  • Beat the egg and sugars for 3 minutes with the flat beaters, add the discard, the flour mixture and butter, continue to beat until almost combined, add the chocolate chips (or chopped nuts) and mix 1 minute.
  • Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and form into a ball, wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour. 
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness, cut out rounds with a cookie cutter or roll into a golf ball size, and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand or a glass (dip it in flour so it doesn't stick to the dough). Chill the dough 15-20 minutes while the oven is pre heating.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
  • Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool 10 minutes on cookie sheet then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
