yoghurt chocolate chip cookies

Another chocolate chip cookie recipe from Pebbles? Yes, but the recipe in this post is different. I usually bake crunchy chocolate chip cookies and it is popular with my family, friends and colleagues.

The recipe in this post is different. Not only does it not contain cocoa powder, it includes plain yoghurt. As such, the cookie is not as chocolatey but it smells and tastes heavenly just the same. Do give it a try!

Ingredients

1 3/4 cup plain flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground almond
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup castor sugar
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup plain yoghurt
2 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped almonds

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees celsius.

2. Sift the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, ground cinnamon, ground almond and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the brown sugar, castor sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Stir in the yoghurt and vanilla essence. Add the chocolate chips and chopped almonds and mix well.

4. Fold in the flour mixture and stir until just combined.

5. Using two teaspoons, scoop a teaspoonful of the cookie dough and use the other teaspoon to place the dough onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.

7. Let the cookies cool thoroughly before storing them in an air-tight container.
