Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful treat that combines rich chocolate flavors with creamy Greek yogurt, resulting in soft, chewy cookies that are lighter than traditional recipes.
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened Can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla) Using flavored yogurt can enhance flavor but may change sweetness.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Mix in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, aiming for about two inches apart.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For best texture, consider chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. Add nuts or dried fruit for added flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
