If you make sourdough bread on a regular basis, then you'll possibly be familiar with the dilemma of what to do with the leftover sourdough (discard) that results from sourdough production. In this recipe, I transform the sourdough "waste" (discard) into an incredible cookie creation with a satisfying crunch, sweet vanilla and chocolate, and a slightly sour flavour.
