Sourdough Cookies (baked dozen)
These sourdough cookies were made with sourdough discard, which is a portion of the sourdough starter typically thrown out whenever the starter is fed fresh flour. The discard still has the good sourdough bacteria that our bodies need, so we use that to make our cookies moist and more flavorful. Since sugar is crucial in giving most desserts moisture, we are able to toss a big chunk of it, add the sourdough and create tasty treats that we can truthfully claim have less sugar.
This practice of turning discard into dessert is part of our pro-health, pro-planet and zero-waste business philosophy. It's a win-win for our personal health and that of the planet.
Each cookie is weighed at 70g, rolled then stored in the freezer. It is baked medium rare - roasted on the outside, gooey on the inside.
For the baked dozen, you may choose up to four (4) flavors. Here are the options:
- brown butter chocolate chip
- dark chocolate chip
- oatmeal raisin
- rocky road

Care information
Care information
This loaf keeps well at room temperature for 3 days (focaccia) and up to 5 days (boule) especially when stored in a linen cloth or bread bag. We do not recommend refrigeration as it goes stale there quickly. Instead, you may want to freeze the loaf to preserve it for up to 3 months. You may slice before freezing. When you are ready to enjoy it, just let the bread sit on the counter for about 30 minutes before toasting on high for 5-10 minutes.
