These Double Choc Macadamia Sourdough Cookies are a great way to use up extra sourdough starter to create extra fudgy deliciousness!
- 200 g white spelt flour (approx. 2 cups)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 75 g coconut sugar or rapadura (approx. ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp)
- 2 tbsp rice malt syrup, honey or maple syrup
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 45 g cacao powder - or good quality cocoa powder (⅓ cup)
- 60 g 70% dark chocolate - roughly chopped
- 60 g macadamia nuts - roughly chopped (½ cup)
- 125 g butter - softened
- 1 egg/s
- 50 g sourdough discard - leftover (¼ cup)
Pre-heat the oven to 175°C/347°F (fan-forced). Line two baking trays with baking paper.
Add all ingredients into the bowl of the electric mixer (or a large mixing bowl if you are mixing by hand).
Mix on low speed for approximately 1 minute or until the mixture comes together to form cookie dough.
Scoop approximately a tablespoon of cookie dough into your hand and roll into a ball. Place on the lined baking tray and continue until all the dough is used up.
Press the balls down using the palm of your hand to flatten them.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for five minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
No Sourdough Discard
If you do not have any sourdough discard, you can replace it with 25g of extra spelt flour and 25 ml water.Other Nuts
Walnuts can be used in place of macadamias and are just as deliciousDairy-free & Vegan
For a vegan or dairy free version of these cookies, omit the butter and the egg and instead, add 100g of melted coconut oil and one chia egg. To make a chia egg, mix 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 2 tablespoons of water and allow to sit until it becomes a gel, approximately 5 minutes. When mixing, if your cookie dough seems too dry, simply add 1-2 tablespoons of water. These deliciously fudgy cookies are my favourite, let me know in the comments below if you loved them too!
