In the end I settled on these "everything cookies". They're basically an oatmeal cookie that uses sourdough starter for the flour and liquid components of the recipe. They're sweetened with a mix of brown sugar and mashed bananas. And they don't need eggs because the recipe basically starts by getting you to make a flax egg out of starter and ground flax seeds.

1 We used slivered almonds this time, but there are lots of other options: walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans... Maybe even pine nuts, cashews, or pistachios. Back
2 We used dried cherries for this batch. Some other things to consider: rasisins/sultanas, apricots, currants, cranberries, dates, mango, papaya... I might also consider trying dried pineapple, blueberries, or strawberries. Back
