Equipment

  • Cookie sheet
  • Stand mixer or mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Drying rack
  • Cookie cutters (or you can use a cup)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fed sourdough starter
  • 4 cups flour (see notes)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup butter sliced
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • extra flour for rolling out the dough
  • coconut sugar and cinnamon for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a stand mixer or mixing bowl, mix together the flour and baking soda first.
  • Once the dry ingredients are combined, add in the butter, eggs, vanilla extract, sourdough starter, honey, and mix.
  • Remove your cookie dough from the bowl and place onto a flat, clean surface that is sprinkled with flour.
  • Sprinkle more flour on top of the dough, then using a rolling pin, roll out your dough.
  • Using a cookie cutter or a cup, cut out your cookies and place them onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle the cookies with cinnamon and coconut sugar.
  • Bake the cookies for 20 minutes, then remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on a drying rack for 10 minutes.
  • Once they are cool, you can add frosting (if desired) or enjoy as is.

Notes

If you are using einkorn flour, you will want to use 4 cups of flour. If you are using all purpose or a modern wheat, you will want to use 3 cups of flour. 
If you want to ferment the cookies a little more, you can place the dough in the refridgator overnight and bake them the next day.
