Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

Add-ins

  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Then beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda to evenly distribute the leavening agent throughout the flour.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry: Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the dough for consistent chocolaty goodness in every bite.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop evenly sized mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set perfectly without breaking apart.

Notes

  • Ensure butter, egg, and yogurt are at room temperature for smooth mixing and even baking.
  • Spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off to avoid dense cookies.
  • Pull cookies from the oven when edges are set but centers are still soft for optimal chewiness.
  • For thicker cookies, refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use higher-quality chocolate chips for better flavor and melting.
