Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¾ cup sourdough starter (unsweetened)
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until creamy, then stir in the sourdough starter and vanilla extract until well blended.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be slightly thick.
  5. For best results, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them in powdered sugar. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until they are just set and the tops crack.
  8. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, swap in almond flour. Store in an airtight container. Warm before serving for gooey texture.
