Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and yogurt until well combined.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  • Swap chocolate chips for white chocolate or butterscotch chips for flavor variation.
  • Use whole wheat flour or add cinnamon for a healthier or spiced twist.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days, placing a slice of bread inside to keep them soft.
  • Reheat in microwave for a few seconds to refresh softness and melt chocolate chips.
  • Freeze dough balls on a tray, then store in a freezer bag; bake from frozen adding 1-2 minutes to baking time.
  • For crispier cookies, bake a minute or two longer and flatten dough balls before baking.
