Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies (Printable Version)

Soft, chewy cookies made with Greek yogurt and chocolate chips—egg-free and ready in 25 minutes.

# Needed Ingredients:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
02 - ½ cup granulated sugar
03 - ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
04 - ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or regular yogurt
05 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
07 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
08 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ Add-Ins

09 - 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
03 - Mix in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
04 - In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky—this is normal.
06 - Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 - Drop generous tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
08 - Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while centers remain slightly soft.
09 - Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before storing.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt keeps them incredibly soft for days, unlike regular cookies that turn into rocks
  • They are accidentally egg-free, making them perfect for when your baking supplies are running low or for friends with dietary restrictions
02 -
  • The dough will be noticeably stickier than traditional cookie dough because of the yogurt, do not be tempted to add more flour
  • These cookies continue baking on the hot pan after you pull them from the oven, so removing them while centers still look soft is crucial
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients make all the difference in achieving that perfectly creamy dough texture
  • Weighing your flour instead of using measuring cups will give you the most consistent results every time
