Made From Scratch Browned Butter Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite cookies to eat at the end of a stressful day or whenever really. But Brown Butter Sourdough Discard Cookies have become my absolute favorite type of chocolate cookie.
This recipe has a deep depth of flavor profile from the browned butter milk solids and fermented sourdough discard it’s a match made in heaven.
These cookies are easy to make and take less time to throw together than the average chocolate chip cookie recipes out there.
Because of the two special ingredients sourdough discard & browned butter! No need to waste time creaming the butter like with normal cookies.
When baking any kind of sourdough discard cookie does the discard in the batter as too much water so to balance that out, we take the butter and brown it to cook the milk solids, which makes it thicker also to offset the water percentage that the sourdough discard brings we remove the whites from the egg and by doing this, this will make a cookie that’s just like any other and the discard wouldn’t have a made a negative impact on your cookie dough.
This is a low maintenance recipe that can be whipped up in a flash or made around your schedule. Make this recipe for your family or friends, it’s so dang good it’ll knock their socks off!

My Best Tips
- Bake write after putting together the cookie this creates a more spread-out cookie.
- if you want a more tangy flavor let the cookie dough ferment overnight.
- For the best texture don’t skip the baking soda, it helps the cookies develop that chewiness we all love.
- Don’t overbake! Follow the baking time for the best-tasting cookie and texture.
- Mix gently, don’t overdevelop the gluten in your cookie dough
Ingredients
- Organic All-Purpose Flour: I prefer organic flour because it does not contain pesticides.
- Sourdough Discard: doesn’t have to be active, just add a little sourdough discard .
- Salt: this is small but it definitely makes this bread taste amazing.
- Organic Brown Sugar: I prefer instant yeast, it’s faster.
- Organic Cane Sugar: ant sugar you have on hand will do fine.
- Vanilla Extract : if you don’t have ghee use avocado oil or anything mild flavored oil that has a high smoke point.
- Grassfed Butter: This is optional if you don’t care to coat your naans with garlic Cilantro butter, you can pass on this ingredient.
- Baking powder: fresh garlic will taste the best and is most ideal.
- Baking Soda: Chopped organic cilantro is a game changer for naan bread don’t skip out on this one!
- Egg Yolks: Pasture Raised Eggs
- Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips: I always use allergy free chocolate chips

How To Make Sourdough Discard Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Add warm water to a large measuring up or mixing bowl, add in sugar and active sourdough starter that’s been fed within the last 24 hours. Mix well and set aside.
In a large measuring cup add warm water, yeast , sugar and sourdough discard and mix together well. Let sit for 8-15 minutes.
If the yeast is frothy on top you’re ready to keep going, in a large bowl add flour and salt then stir. Now add your liquid mix and ghee an mix together, till there is no more dry bits. And knead for 15 minutes or until the dough is soft, smooth and glossy.
Then allow the dough to rise covered for 2 hours
Next cut dough with a knife into 18 equal pieces. Form into balls and place on a lined sheet pan a few inches apart.Let rise .

Let rise for a second time for 20 minutes, then on a clean work surface vertically roll out your dough ball into a flat football shape or circle if that’s your preference. Repeat this process till all the dough balls are rolled out
Heat up a tawah or to medium high with oil and gently place your naan in the pan to cook.
Once you see the naan start to swell and bubble flip to other side it’s usually after 1 minute. Allow that side to cook for roughly 1-2 minutes then remove from heat.
Repeat till all your naan dough balls are cooked, once finished brush generously with melted garlic butter and enjoy
