Say hello to the yummiest mash up of sourdough + our family favorite Ginger Molasses Krinkle cookie recipe. The sourdough discard gives them the softest texture with a bit of sourdough tang. They’re delicious!

If you’re new to using Sourdough Discard, here are a few tips.
you can use the dormant sourdough discard cold, straight from the fridge.
even though the other ingredients are in standard cup/teaspoon measurements I encourage you to set your bowl on the food scale and measure the sourdough discard in grams. It allows you to get the exact measurement needed.
this recipe works great doubled and tripled!
if you have more cookies than you can eat in the next few days don’t bake all the dough. Freeze them in ready made dough balls!

Here’s the cookie scoop I love using, it makes the perfect size cookies - plus it makes scooping out all of the dough so much easier. Here’s my all time FAVORITE rubber spatula. We own multiple of this exact one because it’s quite simply the best. I’m a bit of a minimalist in the kitchen, but I do believe in having good tools.

Sourdough Discard Ginger Molasses Krinkles
1/2 cup Butter
1/4 cup Molasses
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 Egg
57 grams sourdough discard
2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ginger
1/2 teaspoon Cloves
1/2 cup chopped Crystalized Ginger - optional but wow it makes them so delicous!
Raw Sugar for rolling cookies
In a large mixing bowl, cream the Butter, Molasses, Brown Sugar and Egg. Using an electric mixer, beat for a couple minutes until creamy and fluffy. Then add in the sourdough discard and incorporate.
Add in the dry ingredients, mixing until combined. Then fold in the chopped crystalized Ginger. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes, then roll the cookies into 1 inch balls. Roll each ball in raw sugar then place on your baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes or until they are krinkled with just a slight amount of glistening in the cracks. They will be slightly puffy when you pull them out of the oven. Allow them to rest on the baking sheet until they settle.
If you opt to freeze the cookie dough balls let them sit out at room temperature for about an hour before baking, or until you can press a slight fingerprint into them, then bake as suggested.

Did you know that when you watch our videos you help fight human trafficking! It's true, years ago we decided to use our everyday life as a way to fight against slavery and trafficking. Since then we started hosting the Freedom Dinners and when our business started, we knew we wanted it to give back too. We donate 10% of all of our profits to AtlasFree to fight for those that cannot stand up for themselves.
