Wet Ingredients
- 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
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is fluffy, making sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed for even mixing.
- Add Yogurt and Vanilla: Mix in the plain Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until fully combined, resulting in a creamy batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute leavening and seasoning.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat until just combined; the dough will be very sticky, which is normal for this recipe.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough to distribute them evenly without overmixing.
- Form Cookies: Drop the cookie dough by the tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, ensuring a perfect chewy texture.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, helping them set properly.
Notes
- Regular yogurt can be used as a substitute for Greek yogurt if needed.
- Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier creaming and smoother dough.
- Spacing the cookies adequately on the baking sheet prevents them from merging during baking.
