Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, cream softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until smooth.
-
Mix in yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract.
-
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined.
-
Fold in chocolate chips or chunks.
-
Drop spoonfuls or use a cookie scoop to place dough on the baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.
-
Let cookies rest on the sheet for 5 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- Greek yogurt makes the cookies a bit thicker and more tangy.
- Add-ins like white chocolate, dried fruit, or nuts work well.
- A pinch of cinnamon enhances warmth and depth.
- Slightly press dough balls before baking for flatter cookies.
- Dough can be chilled for up to 48 hours before baking.
