Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Additional:
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a chewier texture, slightly underbake the cookies and let them set on the pan.
- You can substitute vanilla or flavored yogurt for a twist, but reduce added sugar if using sweetened yogurt.
