- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter (melted and cooled to room temperature)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.

- In a medium bowl combine melted butter, honey and vanilla extract. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the mixture for topping.
- Add yogurt and egg to the butter mixture and stir to combine.
- Make a hole in the middle of the flour mixture with a wooden spoon. Gently pour in the yogurt mixture. Stir until it is just mixed.
