Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 0.5 cups Light brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 Large egg white
- 0.75 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and egg white to the wet mixture, and whisk until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will firm up as they cool).
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
