Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature

½ cup brown sugar, tightly packed

⅓ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup mini chocolate chips

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or your preferred flavored yogurt)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

¼ cup crushed nuts (almonds or walnuts, optional)

2 tablespoons colorful sprinkles (optional, for added fun)

Instructions
 

Make the Cookie Dough:

    - In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend the ingredients together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

      Add Flavor:

        - Pour in the vanilla extract and sprinkle in the salt. Continue to beat until these ingredients are fully incorporated into the mixture.

          Incorporate Dry Ingredients:

            - Gradually sift the all-purpose flour into the wet mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too crumbly and doesn’t hold together, add a splash of milk (start with 1 tablespoon) gradually until the desired consistency is reached.

              Fold in Extras:

                - Carefully fold in the mini chocolate chips and if desired, add the crushed nuts and colorful sprinkles to enhance both texture and flavor.

                  Shape the Dough:

                    - Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the cookie dough and roll each portion into a ball. Arrange the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

                      Freeze the Cookie Dough:

                        - Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze the dough balls for about 30 minutes, or until they have firmed up.

                          Prepare the Yogurt Coating:

                            - In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt and honey (or maple syrup) until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

                              Coat the Rounds:

                                - Once the cookie dough balls are set, dip each ball into the yogurt mixture, coating it thoroughly. After coating, place the dough balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

                                  Refreeze:

                                    - Return the coated cookie dough rounds to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes, allowing them to set properly.

                                      Serve:

                                        - Enjoy these delightful Frozen Yogurt Cookie Dough Rounds straight from the freezer. They make for the perfect cool treat suitable for any occasion!
