Sourdough Discard Browned Butter Snickerdoodle Cookies

These cookies are so delicious! They have a deep, rich flavor from the brown butter, a little brown sugar and a good amount of vanilla. Snickerdoodles are my sister's favorite cookie and she said these were the best she's had! Visit my Instagram, @cordeliasourdough for more sourdough content and a video of this recipe.

Ingredients:

1 stick plus 6 tablespoons butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 egg yolk

2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup sourdough discard

3 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 tsp salt

Cinnamon sugar:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 Tbsp cinnamon

Directions:

1. Brown one stick of butter and pour it in the bowl of a stand mixer. 
2. Cube the other six tablespoons of butter  and drop them into the warm browned butter. Add your granulated sugar and brown sugar and cream them together with the butter until light and fluffy.
3. Add your egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and sourdough discard and mix again. 
4. Add all your dry ingredients and mix one more time until just combined. 
5. In a small bowl combine your cinnamon and sugar. 
6. Use a cookie scoop to scoop out portions of dough and roll them in cinnamon sugar.
7. Chill your scooped and coated dough for at least two hours.
8. Preheat your oven to 350.
9. Place your dough portions on a baking sheet a few inches apart and bake for 10-14 minutes, or until just set and starting to crackle on top.
10. Allow them to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire wrack. Enjoy!
