Notes
Active Starter you will need an active starter for these cookies to get the cake like texture. If you use early stage starter, for example a starter that is less than 14 days old, it will work. You may not get the exact same texture. They will still have a good flavor and good texture. Bread Flour If you would like to replace the AP flour for bread flour you absolutely can. It is an even 1:1 substitute.Chocolate Chunks Would be a nice alternative to chocolate chips. Simply mix them in with your mixer on low speed or fold them in. Sourdough Flavor These cookies do not have an overwhelming sourdough flavor. So if you are looking for them to have more tang, you may want to try my Sourdough Lemon Cookies
