Description
These Sourdough Sugar Cookies use a humble ingredient — sourdough discard — to transform classic sugar cookies into a treat with subtle complexity and an unexpected depth of flavor. The addition of cream cheese keeps the texture soft and tender while also adding a bit of tang, while a splash of almond extract creates a nostalgic sugar cookie flavor. Slightly cakey, simple to make, and full of quiet character, these cookies prove that discard can be a smart and tasty way to create full-flavored sweets.
