Love to bake sourdough bread but hate to waste all that starter? Starter can accumulate so quickly and before you know it you have a surplus that you have no clue what to do with. Here's an idea for you, turn them into chocolate chip cookies! :D
These scone like cookies have a slightly bumpy texture outside, just a hint of an outside crunch, but they are the soft and fluffy inside. They have a slight tang to them as if there is sour cream (in fact if you don't have left over starter, you can use sour cream instead!) along with your traditional chocolate chips, some nutritious and brain healthy walnuts, and even little chewy bites of candied oranges. Then topped with a marmalade glaze. They are scone like indeed.
