These sourdough cookies are a perfect use for your sourdough discard! Called “Kitchen Sink” cookies because they are packed with all the good things – chocolate chips, walnuts, and dried fruit, these soft and cakey cookies have a slight sourdough tang.

I’ve been having a lot of fun playing with my sourdough starter, and not just baking bread. I really wanted to try making cookies with them, but I was not happy at all with the recipes I was finding online. They either looked like hard little biscuit cookies (blerg), or they were packed with crisco. I know cookies aren’t exactly healthy, but I kinda get grossed out by putting crisco into them. You might as well inject it right into my thighs.

Since I wasn’t finding what I wanted, the only thing to do was to create my own. So, I made my recipe, and I LOVE how it turned out! These cookies are soft and chewy and cakey, with a slight tang from the sourdough, sweet-tartness from the dried fruit. Also try Sourdough Peanut Butter Cookies!
