Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

½ cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)

Optional: Colorful sprinkles or crushed nuts for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, cream these ingredients on medium speed until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well blended. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

    Combine the Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the butter mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Once combined, carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

      Form the Cookie Rounds: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the cookie dough onto a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper. Gently flatten each portion with your fingers to create a disk shape. Aim for about 12-15 evenly sized rounds.

        Freeze the Cookie Dough: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the cookie dough rounds to freeze for approximately 1 hour, or until they become firm to the touch.

          Prepare the Yogurt Coating: While the cookie dough is freezing, prepare the yogurt mixture. In a separate medium bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and honey (or maple syrup) and mix well until smooth and fully blended.

            Coat the Cookie Dough Rounds: Once the cookie dough rounds are firm, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. One by one, dip each round into the yogurt mixture, ensuring that they are completely coated on all sides.

              Add Toppings: If desired, add additional texture and flavor by sprinkling colorful sprinkles or crushed nuts over the tops of the yogurt-coated cookie dough rounds before the yogurt sets.

                Final Freeze: Place the coated cookie dough rounds back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Return them to the freezer and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or until they are thoroughly set and firm.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once completely frozen, your delightful Frozen Yogurt Cookie Dough Rounds are ready to enjoy straight from the freezer. To store any leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.
