Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct baking temperature before you start shaping your cookies.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to make sure they are evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the plain yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can lead to tough cookies.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough for delicious bursts of chocolate.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for thicker and tangier cookies.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help prevent spreading during baking.
- Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a gluten-free version, use a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour substitute.
