These gluten-free Sourdough Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies have crisp edges, chewy centers, and rich flavor using sourdough discard and pools of chocolate.
Whisk the buckwheat flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, sugars, vanilla, and sourdough discard together until incorporated.
1 Egg, 100 g Granulated Sugar, 75 g Light Brown Sugar, 100 g Sourdough Discard, 113 g Unsalted Butter, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and fold with a spatula until just a few floury spots remain. Fold in the chopped chocolate chunks.
