Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt throughout the flour.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In another large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is creamy and lightened in color, which improves texture and sweetness balance.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture until everything is smooth and well-incorporated. The Greek yogurt adds moisture and a slight tang.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula just until combined to avoid overmixing which can make cookies tough.
  6. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough, ensuring every bite gets some chocolate.
  7. Portion the Dough: Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the mounds about two inches apart to allow room for spreading while baking.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden brown but the centers remain soft for a chewy texture. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before transferring to a rack.

Notes

  • For a thicker cookie, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream for a similar tangy effect.
  • Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing the dough balls is possible; bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to baking time.
