I wanted to make some muffins the other day, so I turned to Debbi's blog and all her amish bread recipes for help. I ended up making this Bananas Foster Bread into muffins, and they were so good. Since I still had about a half cup left of my frozen starter, I needed to find another recipe. Following Debbi's link, I headed over to the Friendship Bread Kitchen. I could not believe all the recipes and ideas for using the starter! It was hard to decide, but I finally chose to make a half recipe of the basic cookies.
Let me tell you, these things are so addictive! They have the subtle yeasty taste of the starter and the perfect chewiness of a sugar cookie. Classic, but just different enough to stand out. I will definitely make these again!
This is a half recipe and it makes plenty! For the full and original recipe, follow the link to basic cookies above.
1/2 cup Amish Starter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup shortening

1-1/2 tsp flax seed
