# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt keeps these cookies incredibly moist without needing any eggs
  • They have this perfect texture, crisp edges and soft centers that stay tender for days
02 -
  • The dough will feel stickier than traditional cookie dough, this is completely normal because of the yogurt
  • Underbaking slightly is your friend, pull them out when edges are golden but centers still look soft
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients blend together better and create a more uniform texture
  • Use a cookie scoop for consistent sizing and even baking every time
