Ingredients
- 1 stick butter 113 grams unsalted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 ° (180 °C) and line your baking tray with parchment paper.
- Beat the sugar and butter until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, sourdough starter, and vanilla extract and mix until completely combined.
- When you have a smooth mixture, add the flour and salt and keep mixing until you have a soft, smooth dough.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface and use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out your sourdough sugar cookies.
- Place your cookies on a lined baking tray and bake them in the center of the oven for 10-13 minutes, or until golden. Because every oven is different, I recommend checking on your cookies every few minutes.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a cooling rack before decorating.
