Equipment

  • 1 18x26" cookie sheet pan
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 cherry pitter or sharp knife to pit cherries
  • 1 1/4 cup cookie scoop
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 oz. container Tart Cherry Greek Yogurt (see note below)
  • 1 1/2 cups cherries pitted and diced
  • 8 tbsp. unsalted butter melted (1 stick)
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. almond extract
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Stir Greek yogurt thoroughly.
  • Melt butter and combine with Greek yogurt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add sugar, vanilla, almond extract, baking soda and salt and whisk until well combined.
  • Add flour and cherries and stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
  • Scoop out dough with a one-quarter cup cookie scoop and place on greased cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 350° for about 18-20 minutes or until done.
  • Rotate cookie sheets on oven racks every seven minutes of baking time.
  • Cool completely.

Notes

NOTE:  I used a ¼ cup cookie scoop which is a lot of dough. If making regular sized cookies, this recipe will make between 3-4 dozen and you need to cut the cooking time down by half!
 
NOTE: make sure you use a full 8-oz. container of Greek yogurt. Most containers are 5.3-oz. these days. (I used Noosa because it contains a full 8-ounces).
 
NOTE: My cookies were so large they took about 22 minutes to bake completely.
 
NOTE: This recipe uses NO eggs.
