Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp fine salt
  • 6 tbsp melted butter
  • 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine butter and sugars: In a large bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  • Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add egg yolk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla to the sugar mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Fold in dry ingredients gently, then fold in chocolate chips. Avoid overmixing.
  • Scoop and flatten dough: Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough onto the baking sheet and gently flatten each cookie slightly to ensure even baking.
  • Bake 9-11 minutes until edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.

Notes

Use Full-Fat Yogurt: Low-fat or non-fat yogurt can result in a drier cookie.
Chill the Dough: For slightly thicker cookies, chill the dough for 15–30 minutes before baking.
Don’t Overbake: Cookies will look soft in the center when done. They firm up as they cool.
Try Date Sugar: If you want a richer, caramel-like sweetness, swap a portion of your sugar for date sugar.
