Notes
Both active starter and sourdough discard will work for this recipe.
Expect the cookie dough to be a bit like a thick brownie batter, it's best to use a cookie scoop to measure out your dough.
Don't over bake these cookies or they will turn out cakey, chalky and will lose their deep chocolate flavor.
