I think this is on topic for Science of Cooking - he makes specific adjustments to the standard cookie recipe to accommodate the added moisture from the sourdough discard. These are also the best cookies I’ve ever eaten, one of the few recipes I follow exactly, and we make them all the time, a double batch.
One adjustment, actually - I use slightly less chocolate chips, but no adjustments to the dough, it’s perfect. Browning the butter always results in the same reduction in weight that is calculated in the recipe, even. Every time, I am amazed.
An excellent use for sourdough discard! I’ve made them before (not this exact recipe) and they’re so good.
Sourdough discard crackers were very good as well. Excellent with some aged cheddar mixed in.
I do the discard crackers whenever we have a party, everyone loves them, if I make them when no event to share them at, I eat too many! The cookies I can resist, they are more for everyone else in my house, I don’t usually want something sweet, but those crackers!
Yes the crackers are really hard not to destroy by yourself! Sadly I’m allergic to wheat now. I do miss those crackers.
