Health Benefits of Sourdough Cookies
Sourdough, the ancient practice of fermenting grains with a probiotic culture, is an incredible tool that unlocks deep nutrition in the foods we love most.
But first, what is sourdough?
Sourdough, the ancient practice of fermenting grains with a probiotic culture, is an incredible tool that unlocks deep nutrition in the foods we love most. Sourdough cookies offer a plethora of benefits, thanks to their unique and natural fermentation process using sourdough starter. This slow and natural fermentation allows beneficial bacteria and wild yeast to work their magic, breaking down gluten and phytic acid, making the cookies easy to digest. As a result, nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and minerals become bio-available. The lower glycemic index of sourdough cookies ensures a steady and sustained release of energy (no energy crash!). But the goodness doesn’t end there – the fermentation process also synthesizes prebiotic fiber which promotes a healthy gut microbiome. All these benefits combined make sourdough cookies a delicious and gut healthy treat!
Why I Love Sourdough Cookies
- Bioavailable vitamins and minerals
- Naturally low gluten
- Gut Healthy
- Anti-inflammatory
- Easy to Digest

Ingredients
Cookie Ingredients
- 100g Organic All Purpose Flour* (I used Organic King Arthur All Purpose Flour)
- 96g Organic Cane Sugar
- 38g Organic Refined Coconut Oil, Melted
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 22g Sourdough Starter, Active
- ½ TSP Vanilla Extract
- 2g Sea Salt
- 1/8 + 1/16 TSP Baking Soda
For rolling:
- 1 TBSP Organic Cane Sugar
Ice Cream:
- Vanilla Ice Cream (I love Van Leeuwen Vanilla Ice Cream)
Instructions
- First, melt coconut oil until it becomes liquid (warm but not hot).
- Add coconut oil, vanilla extract, egg yolk, salt, cane sugar, and sourdough starter to a medium bowl. Using a spoon, mix together until just combined.
- Now add flour, sea salt, and baking soda. Using the back of your spoon combine all ingredients until you form a dough. Do not over-mix.
- Place the dough covered in a small Tupperware or wrapped in plastic wrap. Be sure the dough is tightly sealed so it doesn’t become dry on the outside.
- Ferment the covered dough at room temperature for 6-8 hours. You can either bake right away or transfer the covered dough to the fridge until you’re ready to bake, whatever works best for your schedule.
- When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Divide and roll the cookie dough into 6-8 cookies, depending on how large you want your cookies to be. I like each cookie to weigh around 30-50g. Press the middles down slightly and sprinkle a little sugar on top.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies fully cool on the baking sheet (at least 1 hour)*. After 10 minutes, you can also pop them in the fridge or freezer to speed up the process. *It’s important to let the cookies cool so the ice cream doesn’t get too melty when you’re creating the ice cream sandwich.
- Next, place a scoop of ice cream on top of one of your cookies. Use your scoop to gently spread the ice cream to the edges. Sandwich a cookie on top and gently press it all together.
- Lastly, place the ice cream sandwiches on a plate or tray and cover with plastic wrap or a lid. Freeze for at least 15 minutes so it firms up. And that’s it! Enjoy!
Notes
