Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugar until smooth in a stand mixer.
- Mix in milk and vanilla extract.
- Fold in flour, salt, and mini chocolate chips to form the dough.
- Scoop small balls of dough, flatten into patties, and refrigerate on a wax-paper-lined plate.
- Preheat oven to 350F and grease three 8-inch cake pans.
- Whisk dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Cream additional butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter, starting and ending with flour.
- Fold in chocolate chips and divide batter into prepared pans.
- Press chilled cookie dough patties into the center of each pan and cover with remaining batter.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
Ensure the flour is heat-treated to safely consume the dough bits. You can substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream. Keep the cookie dough patties well-chilled to prevent them from dissolving into the batter during the bake.
