Chewy Yogurt Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

Name: Chewy Yogurt Oatmeal Cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1-1/2 cup Brown Sugar; 1 stick Butter, At Room Temperature; 1/2 cups Yogurt (plain Or Vanilla); 2 whole Eggs; 1 teaspoon Vanilla; 3 cups Old Fashioned Oats (not Quick Oats); 2 cups Flour; 1 teaspoon Baking Soda; 1 cup Dried Cranberries; 1 cup Chopped, Toasted Pecans

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the yogurt, then the eggs and vanilla. Mix in the oats, flour, and baking soda. Fold in, or gently mix in the cranberries and pecans. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for 11-13 minutes. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. This makes approximately 24-28 large cookies.
2
If you drop by tablespoonfuls, then the cookies are pretty big. They spread, so I had 9 cookies on a sheet. If you wanted to make smaller cookies, you could drop them by teaspoonfuls, possibly with 16 cookies to a sheet, and adjust your baking time.
3
You could also substitute raisins or apricots or peaches or chocolate chips for the dried cranberries, and whatever kind of nut you enjoy for the pecans. Just remember to toast your nuts slightly, as the flavor is enhanced by toasting.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
