Ready In: 30 minutes

Level: Easy


Prep: 18 minutes

Cook: 12 minutes

Yields: 48 cookies

    Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cupStonyfield Organic 0% Fat Greek Plain
  • 1 cup butter (softened)

directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 2

Cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment for 3 minutes on medium-high speed. Add the egg and the yogurt, and continue mixing for another 2 minutes.

Step 3

Sift the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder together in a separate bowl. With the mixer set on low, slowly add the flour mixture into the butter mixture about 1/2 cup at a time (just eyeball it), letting each pour of flour incorporate fully before adding the next.

Step 4

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and set them 2-inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Step 5

Bake the brown sugar cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until they're golden brown around the edges, and then remove the cookie sheets from the oven.

Step 6

Allow the cookies to rest for a minute before removing them to wire racks to cool completely.
