Sourdough Key Lime Cookies Recipe
These chewy sourdough key lime cookies are bursting with bright citrus flavor and perfectly balanced with the tangy depth of sourdough discard.
Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet For baking the cookies
- 1 Mixing Bowl For the dough
- 1 Wire rack For cooling
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup sourdough discard
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp fresh key lime juice
- 1 tbsp key lime zest
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the sourdough discard, egg, key lime juice, and key lime zest until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
