Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and the sugars start to dissolve.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain tenderness.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough for each cookie bite.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies turn a lovely golden brown around the edges.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for several minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step ensures they set properly.
Notes
- Ensure not to overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender and soft.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or substituting half the brown sugar with coconut sugar.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- You can freeze the dough balls for up to 1 month; bake directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
- Using Greek yogurt adds moisture and protein while keeping the recipe simple and delicious.
