Cocoa Fudge Cookies
My daughter started cheerleader camp today so I decided to make some rich and decadent cookies for her to come home to. I found this Cooking Light recipe on MyRecipe that looked perfect. These cookies couldn’t have been easier to make and both of my kids ABSOLUTELY LOVED them! They were also a big hit for dessert tonight and my husband loved them too.
How to Make Cocoa Fudge Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.
Combine the flour together with the baking soda and salt; mix well. Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl; add the sugars, cocoa, and vanilla then mix until well combined. Add the yogurt and mix. Slowly add the flour mixture to the cocoa mixture until well combined.
Place spoonfuls on the silpat mat about 2 inches apart. Place into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven then let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Move the cookies to the wire racks to finish cooling. Serve with ice-cold milk. Enjoy.

These look so delicious! I would love to have one right now with a glass of cold milk 🙂
I used to make these years ago, when they first showed up in Cooking Light. I had forgotten about them! Don’t know why–they are so good, and easy (and “light”). I’ll have to make a batch soon.
These sound great. I’ve never made a cookie with yogurt. I bet it helped keep them moist.
Those sound great! I will be making these when the weather cools off enough to turn the oven on again!

You’re such an awesome mom. I wish I could come home to these cookies!
I love your cookies, whenever I bake them they come out perfect from the first time. And although we’ve been celebrating lately and I had a fair share of cookies, looking at yours made me want to bake some!
They look great Pam….guess this is another one I will have to try. We all love chocolate here!
Cheerleading school? That sounds like fun! The cookies look so delcious, Pam! 🙂
They look absolutely perfect! Love the dark richness of them…. your daughter is quite lucky!!
Mmmmm they look delicious. Diane
these are my kind of cookies
they kill that chocolate craving instantly
powerhouse cookies! LOL
Too elaborate description. Keep up the good work. And they look yum. Cookies are my favourites
i’d win some major points with the hubs if i made these for him, YUM!
OK those look too easy, there must be a catch 🙂 When it is not 100+ degrees everyday I will have to fire up my oven and give these a try.
Did your daughter have to beat off her brother to get these cookies? I wouldn’t be surprised if she did. My boys would love them.
I’d never have thought to put yogurt in cookies! I bet that’s what makes these so fudgy!
I’m drooling.
And looking at that glass of milk with the cookies is making me drool even more.
Yum, these cookies are making so hungry. I wish I could have one right now.
Cooking Light has such great recipes. Love that these use some yogurt in the mixture.
I love these decadent cookies too! Yum!
Your daughter is cheerleading now? Uh oh….there goes your free time 😉
these look nice and fudgy. the yogurt is unexpected! all that these need in my eyes is some white chocolate chips. 🙂
I made these today using greek yogurt and they turned out great. they’re like brownies but in cookie form…yum!
I made these cookies, and they came out so moist and wonderful. Thank you for this recipe.
