Why are you putting sourdough discard into your cookies?
The reason why I use sourdough discard in my triple chocolate cookies is because firstly, it adds a distinct tangy flavor to the cookies.This flavor is a because of the fermentation process that takes place in the sourdough starter. By adding the discard to cookies, you can infuse them with a subtle sourdough taste that complements the sweetness of the cookie itself.
Secondly, the addition of sourdough discard can help with the texture and moisture of the cookies. The natural acids and enzymes present in the discard help break down the proteins and starches in the dough, resulting in cookies that have a softer and more tender crumb. This can be especially beneficial when baking cookies that you want to be slightly more moist and chewy.
So, by incorporating sourdough discard into your cookies, you can enhance the flavor of the cookies with a pleasant tang and achieve a softer, more moist texture. It’s a great way to use up some of the extra discard while adding a unique twist to these triple chocolate cookies!
