Hey everyone, it’s Anne here from Beyond the Bayou Blog. Today, I’m excited to share My Levain Cookie Recipe with you. After years of working in restaurants, I’ve picked up a few tricks that make these cookies extra special.
This recipe came to me one day when I was craving something sweet but wanted to use up some extra sourdough starter. The result? A cookie that’s crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and full of flavor.
What I love about these cookies is how they combine the tang of sourdough with the sweetness of a traditional cookie. They’re perfect for when you want something a little different from your usual chocolate chip cookie.
Don’t worry if you’re new to baking with levain – I’ll walk you through each step. So, let’s get started on these delicious treats!
