Made with yoghurt, these cookies have a big reduction in fat from regular chocolate chip cookies. The cake-like texture makes them a great cookie to dip into coffee or hot chocolate. Yum!

Ingredient List

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup from 1 tub Mountain High™ Original Plain Whole Milk Yoghurt
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips

Preparation

In a large bowl, mix butter and sugars on medium speed about 2 minutes, scraping bowl frequently. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Add yoghurt and vanilla and mix on low speed until just blended, scraping bowl frequently.
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; add to the sugar mixture on low speed, scraping bowl occasionally, just until mixed. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop dough by scant 1/4 cupfuls (about 3 tablespoons) 3-inches apart on lightly-greased cookie sheet. Press dough, with fingers lightly dusted with flour, into 3-inch rounds.
Bake at 350°F for 15 to 18 minutes, until edges are golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Serve warm or cool.
