Description
Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies are a soft, chewy twist on the classic favorite. Made with Greek yogurt for added moisture and protein, these cookies are lighter yet still indulgently packed with gooey chocolate chips. Perfect for those who want a slightly healthier sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
- Add Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough. The dough will be sticky.
- Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9–12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use a cookie scoop or wet spoon to handle sticky dough more easily.
- For extra softness, slightly underbake and let them finish setting on the sheet.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
