Description
Delightful soft and chewy cookies made with Greek yogurt for a lighter flavor, perfect as a snack or treat.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed light brown sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently mix in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low speed until just combined; the dough will be slightly sticky.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand, being careful not to overmix.
- Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden brown and centers are soft and slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. For a different flavor profile, try nuts or flavored yogurt.
