I love this sugar cookie recipe that I made healthier by exchanging some butter with non-fat plain yogurt. They still taste great and I feel a lot better about eating so many!
Ingredients
- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 cups butter , softened
- 0.25 cups nonfat plain yogurt
- 1.5 cups white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Stir flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a small bowl.

Beat butter, yogurt, and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add egg allowing it to blend into butter mixture. Beat in vanilla extract. Mix in flour mixture until just incorporated. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2-inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake in preheated oven until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let stand on baking sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
