Currently feeding + discarding just so I can make THIS version? Yes. Yes, I am 👍🏼

This is my reader favorite chocolate chip cookie with a sourdough twist BUT the kicker is that we haven’t lost what you love most about them— their crisp edges and chewy centers.

It took some experimenting and tweaking but the result speaks for itself. If you have discard to use, you MUST make these cookies!! 🍪

Actual review from reader Brooke:

“This is an unpopular opinion, but chocolate chip cookies are not usually very exciting to me… WOW! The reason I’ve never been that excited about chocolate chip cookies is because I’d never had these before! They are perfectly crispy and chewy and full of chips! 5 stars! Totally recommend! Will certainly be doing this again!”

Her rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you think that chocolate chip cookies are nothing special, allow me to change your mind 🍪

Grab yourself a jar of espresso powder because we’re adding it to cheesecake, the ganache topping, AND the whipped cream to top it all off ☕️

I wound up experiencing more joy in showing others how to bake a cake or cupcakes THEMSELVES than making it FOR them.

My website now houses 650+ recipes including cakes, cupcakes, cookies, breads, and pies. This gives me so much joy because while it’s my beloved recipe, YOU are the one who gets to not only taste it, but also be PROUD of yourself 🥲

And guess what? I didn’t bake my first cake from scratch until I was 25 😱

🍪 I didn’t “grow up baking with my mom in the kitchen”
🎂 I didn’t go to school for baking or pastry arts
🧁 I took a boxed cake to my first cake decorating class at my local craft store…

…and I couldn’t even get it out of the pan 😵‍💫

Sure. I helped my mom bake cookies from time to time and my dad make his famous spaghetti sauce every winter, but these moments did not define my childhood nor instill in me a love of baking/cooking.

I went to school for biology, and my love for microscopes, bugs, and nature in general is what I remember from my childhood 👩‍🔬

When I was 25, I needed an evening hobby because my (then) boyfriend (now husband) was still in school.

Cake decorating class ➡️ I found cake baking “science-y” ➡️ eventually it became therapeutic ➡️ I turned it into a side hustle ➡️ business wasn’t fun anymore so I stopped ➡️ my website was born in April 2014

Why does this matter? 🤔

Because even if you DID grow up baking with a relative, or you baked a scratch cake for the first time before you were in middle school, you are likely seeing my account because you’re also a HOME BAKER.

🧁 you bake cupcakes for your kids’ birthdays
🍪 you like making cookies from scratch for get togethers
🥧 you have a go-to apple pie recipe that everyone asks you to make for Thanksgiving
🎂 you look forward to “just because” weekend baking

But this is not your full time job and probably not even your side hustle.

You don’t need anything to be fancy.

You like unfussy ingredients.

You want easy-to-follow recipes.

My friend… I am your girl 💁‍♀️

Follow me @freshaprilflours for easy-to-follow, tested and trusted, simple recipes you/your fam/your friends will love and rely on for years to come. #foodie ...
