Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies

What’s your favorite kind of chocolate chip cookie? Do you like them when they’re more cake-like and doughy? Thin and crunchy? Sweeter? Fewer chocolate chips or loaded with chocolate explosions?

Me, I love a thicker, doughy cookie that’s almost raw like when it comes out of the oven and finishes it’s cooking on the counter while it’s cooling. It makes for the best bite! Chocolate is a definite as well. 🙂

I had some starter to use up, so I threw it in these cookies as more of a leavening agent. You can’t really taste the sourness but it has a nice undertone of ‘I don’t know exactly what that taste is but I love it’. Know what I mean?! 🙂

These come together quickly and if you know you’re going to make them, just whip up the dough the night before and save yourself a step. Then it’s like an easy-bake cookie! Just put it on the tray and bake!

Tell me, what’s your favorite kind of cookie? I’d love to hear in the comments below! Happy baking!
