What’s better than a big fat chocolate chip cookie? Not much, but adding the flavor of sourdough and dark chocolate is a contender!
Given the name of my blog it should come as no surprise that I decided to add cookies to my list of things to make with my sourdough starter. And I chose to adapt from the best of them all, my favorite chewy chocolate chip cookies, the #1 recipe on my blog since the day I posted it 7 years ago!
All I really changed was adding 1/2 cup of starter along with a little apple cider vinegar to help lift up that extra liquid added to the dough. This does result in slightly puffier cookies, contrary to my preferred chewy cookies, but not so much that it wasn’t worth the added flavor, which somehow is slightly less sweet and more mellow despite having the same amount of sugar.
As an added bonus, I also made them jumbo sized with dark chocolate chips, but you could make these with and type of chocolate, or chopped up candy you have on hand. Fridays deserve to be celebrated with big fat cookies. And every week feels like an eternity lately.

I’m definitely giving these a try soon!! What a great use of starter and I bet they are super scrumptious!
Oh my goodness!! Sourdough Starter is so versatile – these cookies look GORGEOUS!
Thanks so much! They were a fun surprise experiment
Erin, it is not fair to do a cookie recipe that is so enticing but that I can’t change into overnight oats! These sound absolutely wonderful. And I love that you make them so full of chocolate chips. Those recipes with half a cup of chocolate chips are worthless, IMHO. I hope these cookies truly made your week better.
haha you could add chocolate chips and brown sugar to overnight oats! Maybe a little buttermilk to get that bit of sour
Erin, you are genius!! No wonder I’ve been following your blog for a long time. :-D
I appreciate you so much ;-)
Maybe the Corona virus thingy has inspired you to go SOUR in your latest recipes.!
Haha maybe ;-)
