Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or mix-ins of your choice

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine softened butter, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in your preferred mix-ins until evenly distributed.
  5. (Optional) Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking. Drop spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
