Equipment

  • stand mixer or mixing bowl
  • baking sheets
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ cup oatmeal rolled or steel cut
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt or gray French salt
  • 1 ½ cups butter cold
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 3 eggs large
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla
  • ½ cup sourdough starter discard fed or hungry
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. These same baking sheets can be reused for the remaining batches of cookies!
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, oats and sea salt. Set aside.
  • Cut up the cold butter and put it in the bowl of a stand mixer with the sugar and brown sugar. Beat for 2-3 minutes until well combined and the texture is light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla and sourdough starter discard. Beat one minute more.
  • Slowly spoon the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl. Continue mixing while the dry ingredients are being added. The dough will be thick and fluffy. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Bake at 350° for 8-12 minutes, depending on size of cookies. Let the cookies sit in the pan for 5 minutes after baking before transferring them to a cooling rack. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container or freezing.
