Ingredient Notes
-
- Sourdough Discard: This recipe calls for inactive, sourdough discard. That is when the starter that has been fed and fell back down. Learn more about what sourdough discard is.
-
- Baking powder and soda: Because sourdough discard has lost some of its potential to bake, it needs some extra help from baking powder and baking soda.
-
- Chocolate chips: This recipe calls for semi sweet chocolate chips but raisins or walnuts can also be used.
-
- Butter: Make sure the butter is soft and at room temp, but not melted.
