Ingredients
Scale
- 226 g (1 cup) unsalted butter
- 200 g (1 cup) white sugar
- 220 g (1 cup) brown sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 8 g (2 tsp) vanilla extract
- 140 g (heaping ½ cup) sourdough discard
- 350 g (2½ cups) all-purpose flour
- 6 g (1 tsp) baking soda
- 4 g (1 tsp) baking powder
- 3 g (½ tsp) salt
- 10 oz chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the butter turns amber with brown specks. Remove from heat.
- Immediately stir in white and brown sugars. Let cool slightly (so eggs don’t scramble).
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg, egg yolk, sourdough discard, and vanilla. Stir egg mixture into the cooled butter-sugar mixture.
- Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until fully incorporated.
- Fold in chocolate chips (make sure dough is no longer warm).
- Smooth the dough evenly in the skillet. Wipe skillet edges clean if needed.
- Bake 30–35 minutes until golden on top and edges begin to crisp.
- Cool 5 minutes before serving.
