Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the Butter: Melt 1 cup of salted butter over medium heat until bubbly and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Ensure even distribution.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine cooled brown butter, ¾ cup sugar, ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup sourdough starter. Blend until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until no flour pockets remain.
  5. Incorporate Add-Ins: Stir in 1 cup mini chocolate chips, 1 cup dark chocolate chunks, 1 cup crushed graham crackers, and 1 cup mini marshmallows.
  6. Prep for Baking: Form 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place on a lined baking sheet, spacing them 2-3 inches apart.
  7. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden but center is soft.
