Units Scale

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Additions:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
  6. Cool: Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Using Greek yogurt reduces the fat while keeping the cookies moist.
  • For chewier cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • You can also mix in nuts or use dark chocolate chips for variation.
