# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The yogurt creates an incredibly soft texture that stays fresh for days unlike traditional cookies that can harden up
  • Theyre effortlessly simple to throw together with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen right now
02 -
  • The dough will feel stickier than traditional cookie dough but this is exactly what makes them so tender so do not be tempted to add more flour
  • Underbaking slightly is your friend here because the residual heat on the baking sheet completes the process beautifully
03 -
  • Chill the dough for thirty minutes if you want slightly thicker cookies though they bake up beautifully either way
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizing so everything bakes evenly and looks professional
