Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies
First up, let’s feast our eyes on these beauties before we whip up our own batch!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (250g) active sourdough starter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, let’s do a happy dance; you’ll need the energy!
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. It’s like fluffy clouds but way tastier!
- Add in your active sourdough starter and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Get ready for that sweet, tangy aroma!
- Crack those eggs in there one at a time, beating well after each addition. It’s like a game of egg toss, but with no mess!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Now, carefully combine this dry mixture with the wet ingredients until just blended. Pro tip: don’t overmix—no one likes tough cookies!
- Gently fold in those delightful chocolate chips. Smile as you envision the gooey goodness that’s about to happen!
- Drop generous tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space for some cookie expansion (and we’re not just talking about your pants!).
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Your house will smell like a bakery, and no one will be able to resist sneaking a taste!
- Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. This is the hard part—waiting! But so worth it!
Now that you’ve created these fabulous Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies, grab a plate (or two) and enjoy! Invite some friends over, or keep them all to yourself—no judgment here!
