The yogurt cookies are soft, fragrant, and easy to prepare for a healthy snack or everyday breakfast. They’re great dipped in milk or tea, and these cookies will win you over at the first bite, making you want to enjoy them at any time of the day.
The recipe is very simple and like the coffee cookies, it involves using eggs, flour, and sugar. However, these yogurt treats do not contain butter and are prepared with yogurt. You’re probably wondering why there’s a strawberry in the photo. Well, I used yogurt with strawberry pieces, but you can use other fruit yogurts you prefer. For example, if you use plain yogurt, you can enrich your treats with chocolate chips.
The youngest in the house loved them and finished them in no time! Easy, quick, healthy, and perfect to enjoy at any time of the day. Also as a little treat after a meal when you get that irresistible craving for something good, but don’t want to overdo it. Curious to find out how to make them?

Ingredients
- 2 cups + 1 tbsp cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cups fruit yogurt (with strawberry pieces)
- 2 tbsp tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp cups sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp tsp baking powder
- 1 packet vanillin
- powdered sugar (to taste)
Tools
- Bowl
- Spoon
- Baking Tray
- Parchment Paper
Steps
First, separate the egg white from the yolk and place the yolk in a bowl. Add the sugar, vanillin, or strawberry yogurt, or another flavor you prefer. Mix very well with a spoon until the ingredients are well combined.
Then pour in the flour and baking powder and continue working the dough with the spoon until the flour has absorbed all the liquid. At this point, you can knead with your hands until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough ball.
Take some dough with your hands and form balls the size of a walnut. Then place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Bake the yogurt cookies without butter in a preheated oven at 350°F (static function) for 25 minutes, or until the surface is golden. Then remove from the oven and let cool before enjoying.
Storage and Tips for Yogurt Cookies
The yogurt cookies without butter can be stored in a tin box for 3 or 4 days, in a cool and dry place.
