Sourdough Shortbread Cookies

Unsalted butter - Be sure to use unsalted so you can better control the saltiness flavor. I also prefer to use a good grass fed butter (usually homemade if we have enough milk from our cow). Butter is the star ingredient of shortbread, so don’t skimp on quality!

Granulated sugar

Vanilla extract - I like to use my homemade vanilla. Learn how to make it here.

Sourdough discard

Salt - sea salt is best!

All purpose flour

Semi-sweet chocolate (optional) - You could also use dark or milk chocolate, pending your taste preference.
