Description

These Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies are a moist and flavorful twist on classic chocolate chip cookies, using creamy Greek yogurt to add tenderness and a slight tang. With a perfectly balanced sweetness and golden edges, they’re an easy and healthier treat to enjoy any time.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with both granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is smooth and light in texture, which helps create a tender cookie.
  4. Add Yogurt and Vanilla: Beat in the plain Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined, adding moisture and flavor.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make cookies tough.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute them evenly through the cookie dough.
  7. Portion Dough: Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
  9. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For softer cookies, remove from oven when edges just start to turn golden.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt provides a thicker and creamier texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For added texture, try adding chopped nuts or oatmeal to the dough.
