Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps incorporate air for a tender texture.
- Add Yogurt and Vanilla: Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, adding moisture and a slight tang to the dough.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
- Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
- Eat Raw or Bake: The dough can be enjoyed raw as a safe-to-eat cookie dough treat. To bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), scoop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool before serving.
Notes
- Use mini chocolate chips to avoid large chunks that overpower each bite.
