Cookie Dough:
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but centers are still soft.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- These cookies are soft, slightly cakey, and lower in fat thanks to the yogurt.
- Try using vanilla or honey Greek yogurt for added flavor, or mix in chopped walnuts for crunch.
- Dough can be chilled for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
