Description
Soft and slightly tangy chocolate chip cookies made with plain yogurt for a lighter texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the yogurt and softened butter until smooth. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated and slightly fluffy.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers look set. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For softer centers, slightly underbake; they will continue to cook on the baking sheet. Optional: chill dough for 15-30 minutes if very soft to prevent spreading.
