Sourdough Peanut Butter Cookies are a delightful twist on a classic favorite, combining tangy sourdough and creamy peanut butter for a chewy, crispy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix together the sourdough discard and peanut butter in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. Add the sugars, egg, and vanilla extract to the mix and blend until smooth.
  4. Whisk together the baking soda and salt in a separate bowl, then add to wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set. Allow to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For the best results, let the dough rest before baking. You can add chocolate chips for extra flavor.
