Author Melissa

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup non dairy yogurt, plain and unsweetened I use So Delicious coconut yogurt.
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. 
  • Combine yogurt, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl and stir to thoroughly combine. Let sit for about 1 minute to allow sugar to dissolve and stir again. 
  • Add salt, baking soda, cardamom and a third of the flour, stirring to combine. 
  • Continue to add remaining flour a little at a time stirring just to incorporate. Do not over mix. 
  • Scoop a small bit of dough and roll into a ball. Place on prepared baking sheet leaving 2 inches of space around each cookie as they do spread a fair bit. Press with fingers to flatten and form a cookie. This step is important, do not skip or cookies may not bake properly. 
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes until lightly golden around the edges and bottom. Allow to cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to finish cooling. 

Notes

I have only tried this recipe using So Delicious coconut yogurt so I can't say how well other types will work.
