Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) softened butter
- 1 cup (190g) sugar
- 1 cup (190g) brown sugar
- 1/3 cup (75g) sourdough discard
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (50g) of coconut
- 11 ounces of butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and sourdough discard until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for about 1 minute until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oatmeal, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on a slow speed until well combined.
- Stir in the butterscotch chips and shredded coconut (optional) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Roll the dough into balls using a heaping tablespoon of dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. For larger cookies, use an ice cream scoop. Lightly press down on each ball (see tips below for adjusting cookie thickness based on preference).
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, being careful not to over-bake. The cookies will look slightly soft but will achieve the perfect texture as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for at least 3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
*Be sure to measure your flour correctly. I highly recommend using a digital kitchen scale to weigh your flour, or use the spoon and level method if you don’t have a scale. Improper measuring can cause cakey cookies, or cookies that don’t spread.
