A bit of yogurt replaces part of the butter in the traditional cookie, but you would never know. I get a lot of requests for these and can’t make a cookie tray without them.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
topping:
24 caramels
1 tablespoon whiskey
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, optional
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until crumbly. Beat in yogurt, oil and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into sugar mixture.
2. Shape into 1-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with bottom of a glass dipped in flour. Bake 7-9 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
3. In a microwave, melt caramels with whiskey; stir until smooth. Spread over cookies. Drizzle with chocolate; sprinkle with salt if desired. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 4 dozen.
