Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and slightly airy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and whisk until fully combined, then fold in the sourdough discard until just smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until no flour pockets remain, taking care not to overmix.
6. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a few to press on top of the batter, then spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
7. Bake for 22–25 minutes until edges are golden and center is set, then cool in the pan for 20–30 minutes before slicing into bars.
