Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 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 bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and sugars begin to dissolve.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and you have a uniform dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough, making sure they are evenly distributed without overworking the dough.
- Scoop Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden brown around the edges to ensure they are perfectly cooked.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and prevents breaking.
Notes
- You can substitute plain Greek yogurt with regular plain yogurt, but Greek yogurt will give a thicker, richer texture.
- For a healthier version, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of regular.
- If you prefer softer cookies, take them out of the oven as soon as the edges turn golden brown.
- Ensure not to overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
