Ingredients
- 120 g unsalted butter
- 140 g light brown sugar
- 50 g caster sugar
- 1 egg large
- 75 g sourdough starter discard or active, 100% hydration
- 180 g plain flour a.k.a. all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda a.k.a. baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 120 g rolled oats a.k.a. porridge oats
- zest of ½ orange
- 100 g raisins
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan, and leave it to cool down slightly.
- Add both brown and caster sugar to a large mixing bowl. Pour the butter over, and using an electric handheld mixer, beat the mixture for 1 minute, until sugar starts to dissolve (it will still be grainy though).
- Add an egg and beat again for 2-3 minutes, until light and creamy.
- Using a balloon whisk or a rubber spatula, mix in the sourdough discard.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix gently to combine.
- Finally, add the oats, raisins and orange zest, and stir just long enough to distribute.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (cling film) and place the dough in the fridge to chill for 2-4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop 16 spoonfuls of sourdough cookie dough and space them out on the baking sheets.
- Place them in the oven for 12-14 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets ¾ into the baking to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Let the cookies firm up on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them onto a wire rack to cool down completely.
