These light and tender chocolate chip cookies are made in a small batch of just six, using Greek yogurt for a healthier twist. Perfect for last-minute cravings or small gatherings, they’re quick, easy, and surprisingly memorable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons (37g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg yolk (about 18g)
  • ½ teaspoon (2ml) vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon (55g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup (45g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes with a hand mixer.
  3. Mix in the Greek yogurt, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring with a rubber spatula until just incorporated.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
  7. Scoop the dough into 6 equal balls, about 1.5 tablespoons each, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the cookies are puffed and golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker, chewier cookies, chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Weigh flour for accuracy; if measuring by volume, spoon flour into cup and level off. Watch the oven closely as small batches bake quickly.
