Chocolate Espresso Bean Sourdough Discard Cookies
The perfect pick-me-up for the onset of that sleep cloud in the middle of the afternoon. Vegan.
- 35 g coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 35 g sugar
- 35 g sourdough discard
- 75 g all purpose flour
- 7 g espresso beans finely chopped
- 20 g dark chocolate finely chopped
- pinch salt
Cream together coconut oil and sugar. Add in sourdough discard and salt followed by flour, chocolate and espresso beans. Gather the mixture together-- it will be crumbly at first but should soften come together. If you find the mixture too dry, add a few drops of water. Knead into a dough and form into a log. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 45 minutes to 1 hour to make it easier to handle. If you are using vegetable oil for the fat, let it chill for longer.
Preheat oven to 325F. Slice up the chilled dough log into 1/4" slices. Place flat on a baking mat or parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until the edges of the cookie are just turning brown.
