Why This Recipe Works

• Using sourdough starter in place of traditional yeast creates a more complex, tangy flavor profile that complements the richness of the chocolate.
• The combination of white and brown sugar adds a perfect balance of sweetness, while the powdered sugar dusting (if using) adds a touch of elegance.
• The dark chocolate chips provide a deep, velvety smoothness that’s simply irresistible.

Key Ingredients

When it comes to making sourdough cookies, the quality of your ingredients can make all the difference. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

For the sourdough starter, make sure it’s active and at room temperature before using it. If you’re new to baking with sourdough, consider using a high-quality store-bought starter or even creating your own starter from scratch.

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract
