These cookies are remarkably soft and chewy, benefiting from the added protein and moisture of Greek yogurt. A delightful treat perfect for satisfying sweet cravings.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled for accuracy
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
Incorporate the Greek yogurt into the wet mixture, mixing until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
