Description
These soft and chewy Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies are a healthier twist on the classic cookie. Made with plain yogurt and coconut oil or butter, they are deliciously indulgent yet slightly lighter, perfect for a treat any time of day!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt (regular or Greek, unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or melted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark, milk, or semi-sweet)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the yogurt, coconut oil (or melted butter), brown sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If using gluten-free flour, be sure to use a blend with xanthan gum for the best texture.
- You can substitute coconut oil with regular butter for a different flavor, though the cookies will have a slightly different texture.
