Ingredients

Scale

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup plain, full-fat Greek yogurt, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sugars

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure all ingredients accurately and bring butter and Greek yogurt to room temperature for smooth mixing and even cookie texture.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: Use a mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, forming the base for tender cookies.
  3. Add Greek Yogurt and Vanilla: Mix in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, adding moisture and a subtle tang without overpowering the dough.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the cookies.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to ensure melty chocolate in every bite.
  7. Portion and Bake: Scoop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving space between cookies. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set but soft.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to set while maintaining chewiness.

Notes

  • Use room temperature dairy ingredients to ensure smooth mixing.
  • Do not overmix dough to keep cookies soft and tender.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies with richer flavor.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for even baking and easy cleanup.
  • Remove cookies when edges are set but centers look slightly soft to achieve perfect chewiness.
