Is the sourdough starter added with the butter flour mixture? Looks delicious.

Why is the salt, baking soda and powder added the next day? I figured it was part of the dough and mixed it in with the rest of the ingredients-whoops . Hoping it still turns out. Guess I’ll find out tomorrow
It’s part of the leavening process :)
It ended up still working :) doing it the right way tonight for Christmas morning! I made these and your soft gingerbread cookies (which I normally don’t like gingerbread) and they are a HIT!
Good!!! Sorry if I did not make that clear! I’m multi tasking this time of year and make mistakes. Leslie :)
