One Greek yogurt thumbprint recipe, endless variations! These soft and chewy Greek yogurt cookies are the perfect base for your favorite coatings and toppings from sprinkles to jelly.
Four years. Seriously, I have been doing this for 4 years? At the same time it sometimes seems like it has been longer than that but what a great 4 years it has been! I’ve met some of my favorite food bloggers and they were all as awesome as I imagined they would be. I also ate a TON of great food along the way. Speaking of food, helping me celebrate this happy occasion are a few brands which I frequent including Chobani Greek yogurt, Dollop frosting, OXO, Peanut Butter & Co., and Red Jacket Orchards. And they all contributed party favors!
4th Blogiversary Giveaway:
- One 32 oz. container of 4% Whole Milk Plain Chobani Greek Yogurt
- One 12 oz. container Dollop Hot Chocolate Frosting
- An assortment of 3 Red Jacket Orchard jams
- Peanut Butter & Co.’s The Big Six (six assorted jars of PB in a carrying case) and a signed Peanut Butter & Co. Cookbook
- OXO medium cookie scoop, egg beater, cookie spatula, and dough blender
These 5 party guests and I baked cookies together. We made super soft and chewy Greek yogurt thumbprint cookies coated in sprinkles, cinnamon-sugar or just left plain, and then topped with strawberry jam, cinnamon-raisin peanut butter, and hot chocolate frosting with marshmallow bits. One cookie recipe with tons of variety! And to sweeten the deal I’ve got a giveaway for one lucky reader. Just use the Rafflecopter widget located at the end of this post to enter.

GREEK YOGURT THUMBPRINT COOKIES
Makes approximately 4 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
COOKIES
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup (4 oz.) Chobani whole milk plain Greek yogurt
1-1/2 cups + 2 Tbsp granualted sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp milk
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
2-1/4 tsp baking powder
Course white sugar, sprinkles, or cinnamon-sugar (optional)
FILLING OPTIONS
Peanut Butter & Co. peanut butter (I used cinnamon-raisin)
Dollop frosting (I used hot chocolate) and some marshmallow bits
Red Jacket Orchards jam (I used strawberry)
Directions:
- In a stand mixer or large bowl with electric hand mixer, mix ingredients in order (except course white sugar) until fully incorporated. Cover and chill dough in refrigerator for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pour some of the course white sugar into a small bowl. Shape dough into 1-inch balls (I used OXO’s small cookie scoop to ensure they were all the same size) and roll in sugar, if using. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Bake for 8 minutes.
- Immediately after removing from oven, gently push a indentation into the center of each cookie. Be careful not to push all the way through the cookie. Let cool slightly before transferring to wire rack then fill with a teaspoon of peanut butter, frosting, and/or jam.

I enjoy stamping cards and your cookie logo reminds me of a stamp set I just bought from Lil’ Inkers. It’s a little cookie guy. You might be interested in it! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
My step mom loves stamping and making her own cards as well. I should have her look into that, thanks for the heads up!
I’ve been looking for a good cookie recipe for my family Thanksgiving dinner.. These look great!!
Awesome Ashley! What kind of coating/filling do you think you’ll use?
One recipe I would like to see is gooey butter cake. :)

I remember when you started! I also remember helping you throw together some early posts :) you sure have come a long way since then. If only I could try these yogurt cookies :( silly baby.
Very nice, I bet the yogurt makes them so tender! Happy blogiversary!
I’d just like to say congratulations, and thanks for bringing recipes and ideas to my inbox. I generally just lurk and don’t often comment, but I do enjoy your blog and the fun you bring to it.
My favorite recipes are the old family vintage ones that are handed down.
Love your blog! Thanks for all the great recipe ideas!
Happy Bloganniversary! Those thumbprint cookies look lovely and I am looking forward to trying them. My spouse is a big PB fan and I LOVE Greek Yogurt so this recipe would combine our favorites. I have many OXO tools, but surprisingly not the ones featured. I would love to win this giveaway.
Look forward to your emails, have made many tasty goodies!!
I think your blog is great, and would love to see more dessert recipes. I love dessert.
YAY YAY YAYYYY! HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY!!!! Love you and your bloggy :P These cookies look fantastic!
These cookies look so cute, especially with the purple sprinkles! I often am in search of new ways to bake with greek yogurt (something always in my fridge), and to include a peanut butter-esque filling is genius!
Happy 4 year Anniversary! Absolutely love your blog and LOVE that you do so many recipes including peanut butter, aka my weakness haha!
Congratulations on the milestone.
These look like a recipe I can make. I try to make things my family will like– sometimes works and other times well lets just say sometimes they work, But this looks good.
Thank you
These look awesome! I love how fun and colorful they are!
Ah Congrats on 4 years!!! That’s great. I’ve only been following you for about one, but I love everything you post! Especially how you post (your vocab and stuff). I know it may seem weird, but it’s super cute and not forced which makes reading all of your stuff a breeze/ very enjoyable :)
Aw thanks Victoria!
All of these cookies look wonderful!! I recently found your blog. Congrats on 4 years!!
Sounds delish! Yogurt is always so good in baking recipes. I look forward to trying these out!
Happy Blogiversary to you! I’ve been following for probably close to a year and a half now. I always enjoy your smaller serving recipes or single serving recipes the most, I suppose, but I honestly enjoy your entire blog.
So glad to hear that you enjoy my single serving recipes! It’s hard to tell sometimes what people enjoy. I’ll make sure to keep up on Single Serving Sundays!
I think your page is very pretty and Happy Anniversary!
I love how creative you are with your recipes, keep it up!
Congrats on your anniversary! Happy 4 years!
Those cookies look great! I love all the different ideas for fillings
