Why do you want this recipe

• Reuse sourdough to discard As a substitute of losing it. I adore it once I can throw the sourdough into the recipe; it not solely reduces meals waste, but additionally will increase the depth of the flavour!
• Not a cake. Sourdough has lots of water within the discarded water, which may trigger cake cookies (additionally it is a giant downside when making pumpkin cookies!). We countered this fastidiously, so our cookies grew to become very tender and chewy.
• Not chilly! The dough could be baked instantly after making, which suggests this recipe is ideal for days whenever you want sweets however have a short while.
• No mixer is required. Since we use melted butter as an alternative of softening, you’ll be able to simply combine this dough collectively. I can save all of the dishes!

uncooked materials

• Discard the sourdough. Don’t use too previous or very watery to discard. I will not use it for greater than a day or two (if saved at room temperature) or every week previous (if saved within the fridge).
• Peanut butter. I choose creamy peanut butter, however I believe for those who like just a little texture you should utilize a crispy sauce. I have never examined this recipe with pure peanut butter (however hopefully strive it with home made peanut butter quickly).
• butter. We’ll begin with common previous melted butter, which produces a extra scrumptious and chewy cookie than cookies made with delicate butter. Whilst you could be tempted to make use of brown butter (like I do in sourdough chocolate chip cookies), I do not really suggest it. I examined this recipe with brown butter and it wasn’t a highly regarded recipe. The style was exhausting to shine on the peanut butter, which was not value the additional effort.
• yolk. We skipped the egg whites right this moment to accommodate our sourdough discard, which was loads of water there. If you happen to do not wish to waste egg whites, use them to make coconut almond truffles, seafoams, brownie bark or blueberry cream cheese muffins.
• Gentle brown sugar. When you’ve got it available, use half a cup of darkish brown sugar and half a cup of sunshine brown sugar as an alternative of all gentle brown. That is really my desire, which provides extra depth and richness (not like all darkish browns).

Sam’s tip: Sprinkle japonica on the cookies for some taste and texture earlier than baking! I like to make use of natural cane sugar for this (as a result of it’s rougher), however common granulated sugar works too.

How you can make them

Making dough

Ensure that your butter has been utterly cooled and now not heat earlier than beginning or you’ll soften the sugar and your dough will probably be greasy. Add sugar and peanut butter and stir nicely earlier than including the remaining moist elements.

Whisk the dry elements in a separate bowl and stir it into 3-4 components. Including them this fashion (somewhat than pouring all of them in without delay) could make them utterly absorbed and make the dough simpler to make use of.

Roll and bake

Scroll the cookie dough and roll between palms till clean (non-compulsory, however make the cookies extra lovely). Earlier than baking, gently sprinkle the highest of every cookie and sprinkle with sugar (I do not care about rolling the entire cookie with sugar, simply sprinkle just a little on the highest). Use the tip of the fork to clean out every cookie barely, however do not smash it an excessive amount of or they will not keep moist, delicate and chewy like they need to be inside.

Discover: Overbaking is likely one of the worst issues you are able to do with these cookies! If overbaked, they are going to look dry, tasteless, brittle or bland. Really, I choose to use these cookies rather less and allow them to end off the oven baking on scorching cookie slices; this ensures the delicate and chewy texture we goal for.

Bake and funky utterly on the baking sheet earlier than shifting – the cookies are very fragile when heat.

Sam’s tip: In case your first batch of cookies are too unfold, double verify that you simply will not clean them an excessive amount of and/or stick the dough within the fridge for 15-Half-hour. This often means your butter (or kitchen) is just a little heat.
