Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active) Ensure the starter is active and bubbly
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the active sourdough starter, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, and egg to the mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers may appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
