Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray or line 10 cupcake molds. Set aside
Sift the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl until fully combined and no lumps
Add the eggs and stir until all the dry ingredients are moist. Add the butter and stir to fully combine. Add the extract and the yogurt. Stir until fully combined and a smooth dough has formed
Push dough to center of bowl and form into a ball. Massage to make sure of the texture. The dough should form easily and smoothly into a tight ball. Gradually fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough
Divide the dough evenly among the prepared cupcake molds. (about 3 TBS dough in each mold). Press the dough evenly throughout the cupcake molds. Place into preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Cupcakes should be golden around the edges and a tester comes out clean
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan at least 30 minutes so the cupcakes can firm up. Remove from the cupcake molds and transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before frosting
