Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 1 whole large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 0.75 cups dark chocolate chips (low sodium if available)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Mix in the plain Greek yogurt until fully integrated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until everything is combined and you have a smooth dough.

Step 7

Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
