sourdough softies

Posted at 02:46 PM on Monday, February 11, 2008

My friend Hope gave me some Amish friendship bread starter, which is sourdough starter, but she also gave me a bunch of recipes to make besides just the bread.  I tried this one on Saturday and they turned out great!  They are a really soft chewy cookie.  It took me 2 trays to get it right.  I made them a little smaller and lessened the bake time to 10 minutes, but everyone's oven is different...

Sourdough Softies

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup sourdough thinned with 2 tablespoons water

1/2 cup margarine

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

     Cream margarine, sugar, eggs and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients alternately with sourdough.  Drop onto greased cookie sheet and sprinkle with mixture of sugar and cinnamon.  Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes.
