Ingredients
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon (5 g) salt
- 1 tablespoon (15 g) corn starch
- 1 ½ cups (355 g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (120 g) brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 g) vanilla extract
- ½ cup (125 g) sourdough starter (fed or discard)
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 8 tablespoons (113 g) butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and corn starch. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, sourdough starter, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
