How to Make Cocoa Fudge Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
  5. Stir in 1 cup plain yogurt and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 1 cup chopped maraschino cherries).
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly.
  10. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly firm. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
