Soft and tender chocolate chip cookies made with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist, perfect for family gatherings or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Mix in the egg, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently stir in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underdone.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for 15-30 minutes if it seems too sticky. Avoid overbaking to maintain a soft texture. Customize with add-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or white chocolate chips.
