Equipment

  • Medium-sized mixing bowl
  • Silicone spatula
  • A small saucepan
  • Kitchen scale or measuring cups and spoons
  • Tablespoon cookie scoop
  • Baking Sheets

Ingredients  

  • 225 g Butter browned
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 150 g Brown Sugar
  • 150 g Cane Sugar
  • 150 g Sourdough Starter
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 240 g Einkorn Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 8 oz. Chopped Chocolate or chocolate chips

Instructions 

  1. Brown the Butter: Measure out the butter and brown it in a small saucepan over medium heat until it turns a deep golden colour and smells nutty.
  2. Mix with Sugar: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the sugar. Pour the browned butter over the sugar and mix until combined.
  3. Cool and Add Egg Yolks: Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the egg yolks and mix until smooth.
  4. Incorporate Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add Sourdough Starter: Pour your sourdough starter into your wet ingredients and fully incorporate.
  6. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the einkorn flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
  7. Fold in Chocolate: Gently fold in the chocolate, being careful not to over-mix.
  8. Rest the Dough: Let the cookie dough rest in the fridge for 2-24 hours for short or long-fermentation.
  9. Preheat the Oven: Once ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Shape the Cookies: Scoop the dough into balls, about the size of a heaping tablespoon or 50 grams each, and place them on a baking sheet. Press down slightly. Optionally, top with a sprinkle of flaky salt.
  11. Bake: Bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, depending on your oven and dough ball size. The cookies should be slightly golden on the outside and puffed in the middle.
  12. Cool: After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
