How to Make Sourdough Red Velvet Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a bowl; set aside.
  3. Combine the sourdough starter, sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and red food coloring in another bowl until smooth.
  4. Mix in the dry ingredients gradually, until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
