Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside to ensure easy removal of the cookies after baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until the mixture is fluffy and light. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.
  3. Add Yogurt and Vanilla: Mix in the plain Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until fully combined with the creamed butter and sugar mixture, making sure the batter is smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt through the flour.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients with Wet: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat just until combined. The cookie dough will be very sticky at this point, which is normal for this recipe.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Portion Cookies: Drop the cookie dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers look set but soft.
  9. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the cookies set and prevents breaking.

Notes

  • You can substitute regular yogurt for the Greek yogurt if desired, though the texture may be slightly different.
  • Store the cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days to keep them fresh and soft.
