Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temp (or vegan spread)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp whole milk Greek yogurt (plain variety)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (Madagascar if you can)
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips (or dairy-free chips)
  • flaky sea salt, sprinkles, or chopped nuts Optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat-treat your flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely.
  • Beat softened butter with brown and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until silky and tempting.
  • Add salt and cooled, heat-treated flour. Gently fold until no streaks of flour remain.
  • Fold in mini chocolate chips, reserving some to sprinkle on top if desired.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up the dough.
  • Scoop into balls or serve with spoons. Garnish with flaky sea salt, sprinkles, or nuts.

Notes

For a softer dough, add 1–2 tbsp more flour. Enhance flavor with a pinch of cinnamon or dash of espresso powder. Equipment tip: use a medium cookie scoop for uniform portions.
