Description

This Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough is a deliciously soft and chewy treat with a hint of tanginess from the yogurt, offering a balanced blend of indulgence and healthiness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or your favorite mix-ins (e.g., nuts, dried fruits)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  2. Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips or your preferred mix-ins until evenly distributed.
  5. (Optional) Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
  6. If baking, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.

Notes

  • Use plant-based yogurt and coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • Replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free option.
  • Use erythritol or another substitute for a lower-sugar version.
  • Enhance flavor with cinnamon, nutmeg, or citrus zest.
  • Store in the fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
