# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The yogurt creates these impossibly soft centers that stay tender for days, unlike traditional cookies that can harden up
  • Nobody can guess these are egg-free until you tell them, making them perfect for unexpected allergies or ingredient shortages
02 -
  • The dough will be significantly stickier than traditional cookie dough because of the yogurt. Do not be tempted to keep adding flour or they will turn into hockey pucks.
  • These cookies continue baking on the hot baking sheet after you pull them from the oven. Removing them at the right moment makes all the difference between soft and dry.
03 -
  • Scoop all your dough onto the baking sheets before baking, then return any unused dough to the refrigerator. This keeps the butter cold between batches, which helps maintain consistent texture.
  • Use a cookie scoop if you have one for uniform sizing, which means even baking times and pretty, professional-looking cookies.
