How to Make Chocolate Chip Yogurt Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted margarine and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and beat until well combined.
  3. Beat in 1 cup plain yogurt and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or a mix!).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
