Main
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips optional

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
  3. Mix in the sourdough starter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips or any mix-ins you prefer.
  7. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

These cookies are delicious on their own but pair well with milk or coffee.
