Ingredients

  • cups 300 grams all-purpose flour
  • 50 g active sourdough starter
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 sticks 226 grams unsalted butter, at cool room temperature
  • cups 250 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Homemade Lucky Charm Recipe

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or mix with a spoon and bowl), combine the butter and sugar. Beat on medium speed, gradually increasing to high until the butter is light and fluffy, and pale in color; about 3 minutes.
  • Add the sourdough starter, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and beat until combined.
  • Slowly beat in the flour, salt, and baking powder. 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 8+ hours. I typically will make the dough in the morning so it’s ready by evening or overnight! You can refrigerate but before baking just bring it to room temperature for a few hours :)
  • When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • Divide and roll the cookie dough into 10-12 cookies, depending on how large you want your cookies to be. I like each cookie to weigh around 20-30g.
  • Press the middles down slightly and add your lucky charms on top by pressing down.
  • 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. Enjoy!
  • Store sourdough cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for 6 days. To reheat, bake in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 5 minutes.
