Sourdough Cookie FAQs
Yes! Active starter or discard works well.
No! Unlike traditional sourdough bread, many sourdough cookie recipes don’t require a long fermentation period. I do recommend chilling most cookie doughs for at least an hour for best texture, but all of these sourdough cookie recipes can be made and baked the same day.
