Ingredients
For about 20 cookies, you will need:

- 50 g of brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- Vanilla flavoring (optional)

- In another bowl, beat the egg with the brown sugar until frothy.
- Add the Greek yogurt and, if desired, the vanilla flavoring, mixing until the mixture is smooth.

- If you want to enrich your cookies, add dark chocolate chips or chopped dried fruit.
- Shaping the cookies:

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a spoon, form balls of dough and place them on the baking sheet, pressing them down slightly to give them the shape of biscuits.

- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying.
