How to Make Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Turn mixer to low speed and gradually add ½ cup active sourdough starter, mixing until just combined. (Note: Starter activity may vary; adjust amount as needed for desired consistency.)
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 ½ cups chopped pecans (optional).
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.
  9. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
