Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (75g) plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup (113g) of softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup (150g) of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup (50g) of granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Mix in 1 large egg, 1/3 cup (75g) of plain yogurt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup (175g) of chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

[‘Measure ingredients accurately using a kitchen scale for best results.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too sticky.’, ‘Start checking cookies at 10 minutes to avoid overbaking.’, “For gooey centers, remove cookies from the oven slightly underdone—they’ll firm up as they cool.”]
