Ingredients

Scale

1 cup sourdough starter (unfed)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, combine flour and baking soda; gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the sourdough starter and gently mix in the chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spaced two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
Let cool slightly on wire racks before enjoying.
