Ingredients

  • 100 –105g Organic All Purpose Flour* I used Organic King Arthur All Purpose Flour
  • 100 g Cane Sugar Coconut sugar works perfect too but cane sugar helps achieve a bright pink color
  • 40 g Fresh or Frozen* Strawberries
  • 40 g Melted Organic Refined Coconut Oil
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 22 g Sourdough Starter Active Starter
  • 2 g Sea Salt
  • 1/8 + 1/16 TSP Baking Soda
  • 1/2 White Chocolate Bar Chunks (I used Eating Evolved)

Instructions

  • PREPARE EGG: In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg. Using a spoon, add 27g to a medium sized bowl.
  • Prepare Strawberries: If using frozen, please see notes section. Dice strawberries on a cutting board. Next, add to a bowl and drain as much of the juice as you can.
  • ADD FIRST INGREDIENTS: Now, melt coconut oil until it becomes liquid (warm but not hot). Add coconut sugar, diced strawberries, sourdough starter, salt, and coconut oil to the medium bowl with the egg.
  • MIX: Using a spoon, mix ingredients together until combined. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. Mixing wet ingredients prior to adding flour and baking soda will help achieve the perfect cookie texture.
  • ADD AND COMBINE: Now add flour, white chocolate chunks, and baking soda. Using the back of your spoon and/or your hands combine all ingredients until you form a ball.
  • STORE DOUGH: Place the dough covered in a small Tupperware or wrap it in plastic wrap. Be sure the dough is tightly sealed so it doesn’t become dry on the outside.
  • FERMENT DOUGH: Ferment the covered dough at room temperature for 10+ hours. You can ferment overnight or during the day, whatever works best for your schedule.
  • PREHEAT OVEN: When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • DIVIDE COOKIES: 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.
  • BAKE COOKIES: Bake for 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides.
  • LET COOKIES COOL: Remove from the oven and let cookies fully cool on the baking sheet. Enjoy!
  • STORING: 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.

Notes

Frozen Strawberry Instructions: If using frozen strawberries, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and thaw for 3-5 minutes. You want to bring them to room temperature but not become warm and bursting.
Freezing Instructions: Freeze raw or baked cookies in a closed container for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat (or bake) as you like!
