Freshly prepared Double Chocolate Sourdough Cookies on white plate

Rich and fudgy double chocolate sourdough cookies that combine tangy sourdough starter with deep cocoa flavors for an irresistibly chewy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120g) active sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (55g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, sourdough starter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but centers remain soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra fudginess, chill the cookie dough for 1 hour before baking. Serve with a glass of cold milk or your favorite coffee.
