How To Long Ferment Sourdough Cookies
Fermenting sourdough cookies can deepen the flavor and add texture to the final bake. Long fermenting can also make the flour in the cookies easier to digest. In order to long ferment cookie dough, simply cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 72 hours (or per recipe instructions). If the dough is too hard to scoop when you get it out, leave it on the counter for about 30 minutes or until it is more tender.
