Ingredients
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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside for easy cookie removal later.
- Mix Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until the mixture is fluffy and light. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is well incorporated.
- Add Yogurt and Vanilla: Mix in the plain Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until fully combined, giving the dough a creamy texture.
- 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.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and beat until just combined. The dough will be sticky, but this is normal for these cookies.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula, fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into the dough ensuring every bite has delicious chocolate.
- Form Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute plain Greek yogurt with regular plain yogurt if Greek yogurt is unavailable.
- Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
- The dough will be sticky; chilling is not necessary but can help firm it for easier handling.
- For a different flavor profile, try adding nuts like walnuts or pecans with the chocolate chips.
