Soft, chewy, and healthier cookies made with Greek yogurt, whole wheat flour, and sweetened naturally with honey or maple syrup. A guilt-free treat that satisfies your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (or any mix-ins you like)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
- Stir until fully combined and dough forms a smooth, cohesive mixture.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips or your preferred mix-ins gently.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Optionally press dough lightly for uniform size or leave as is for softer cookies.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are slightly soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Use whole wheat flour for added fiber and texture, but all-purpose flour can be substituted. Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein. Feel free to swap honey with maple syrup or other sweeteners. Cookies firm up as they cool for perfect chewy texture.
