Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup sourdough starter (fed or unfed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (at room temperature) Can be substituted with halal-friendly margarine.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds depth of flavor.
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Avoid over-mixing after adding.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Stir in the sourdough starter.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, blending just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in chocolate chips if using.
  7. Scoop rounded balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers are set.
  2. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, let cookies cool for at least 10-15 minutes after baking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze the dough for up to 3 months.
