My husband's family has been passing down sourdough recipes for over 100 years. They brought them from Europe and added some American jazz over the years. Our family always has these sourdough chocolate chip cookies at Christmastime. —Lisa Raymond, St. Joseph, Illinois

Ingredients

1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups Sourdough Starter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans, optional

Directions

1.
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add Sourdough Starter and vanilla; mix well. In another bowl, whisk flour and baking soda; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in oats, chocolate chips and, if desired, pecans.
2. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Press lightly on each cookie to flatten. Bake until set but still soft, 10-12 minutes. Cool on pans 3 minutes. Serve warm or remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
