Chocolate Chip Medley Yogurt Cookies

August 29, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 28 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have to tell you I have been pretty intrigued by the yogurt epidemic that you’re seeing all over the place.  One thing you may or may not know about me is I am a yogurt freak!  Oh my gosh I love it!  I eat it all the time!  I actually crave it!!!  Today I thought I would try something completely new using a my traditional chocolate chip cookies recipe.

Just about every week I make my Husband a batch of the old fashion traditional chocolate chip cookies, using butter, eggs and sugar.  Today I decided to change it up and use yogurt, half the butter, egg substitute and some stevia in place of the granulated sugar.  I know that using yogurt in chocolate chip cookies sounds weird but I found a Chobani substitute chart on Pintrest and I just had to try it!!  Boy I couldn’t wait to try it!  A lower calorie, less butter cookie, yes please!!!


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cookies are a little different then my traditional cookies, they puffed up, instead of spreading out.  They kind of tasted cake like to me.  But are they good? Ahhh YAH!!! Would I make them again?  You bet I would!!  The only thing I would change is use less chocolate chips.  I didn’t have a full bag of semi-chocolate chips, so I used 1/4 cup semi sweet, 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips and 1 cup of white baking chips.  These cookies were sweet!  I am thinking next time I should use 1 1/2 cups of chips instead of 2.  But hey I’m not arguing the sweetness!  Who doesn’t like sweet chocolate chips of all kinds?

One thing about these cookies is how ever you scoop them, that is pretty much the shape your going to get.  I didn’t realize that until it was too late.  But honestly I don’t care about the shape, there for my Husbands lunch and I know he doesn’t care.  I asked my Husband, you know the one who doesn’t like change or yogurt, what he thought of the cookies.  He said the cookies were really good and that his friend at worked loved them. That’s all I needed to hear!  There a hit!  I know they were a hit with me, I ate a few straight out of the oven.

See all the funny shaped cookies?  In the picture above, you see the first one in the second row to the left?  You know the funny shaped one with white chocolate chips popping out everywhere?  I ate him along with a few of his friends!  🙂  My description of these cookies are sweet, chocolaty, fluffy, tasty cookies.  I liked them!  I froze the whole batch and when I came home from work, I went to grab one out of the freezer and guess what?  Hubby took them all to work!  That was kind of stinky, but I guess that is better for me, since I can’t just eat one.   If you decide to make these cookies, I highly, highly recommend using 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cup of chips, whether it is a medley of chips like I used or one kind of chip.  The chips may have been just a little bit of overkill, plus using less chips will bring the calorie count down.  But all in all the cookies were only 73 calories each!  Not bad!  My guess with less chips you’re looking at around 50 calories a cookie which is really good for a chocolate chip cookie!

I really wish my Husband didn’t take them all to work!  I really could go for right now with a big cup of decaf coffee!  Darn my Husband!!   Don’t you hate when that kind of thing happens?  I guess this is just an excuse to make more cookies.  Who am I kidding?  Who needs an excuse to make cookies?  I know I don’t!!

Well that it for me today!  Are you going to try yogurt cookies?  I think you should and come back and let me know what you think of them!!!  I wonder what kind of cookie I should make next using yogurt?  Feel free to give me some suggestions.

Have a great day!!

Toodles,

Jen

P.S.  Shhhh, but please don’t tell my Husband that there is yogurt in the cookies and no granulated sugar.  Somethings are best kept a secret!

    You have an awful lot of fun in the kitchen, don’t you Jen? I think it’s a huge compliment that your husband took all of these to work! I do know what you mean about giving stuff away though. I bake a lot and end up taking a lot of it to work or giving it to friends. Then later I think, “why in the world did I give that away?” 🙂

    For all the times I’ve substituted Chobani for other ingredients, I’ve never seen this chart before. I love it! And these cookies are a great idea… down SO many calories! (which means I will eat more…)

    Does the whole wheat pastry flour make a big difference? I have white whole wheat flour and wonder if I could use 2 c. of it instead of 1 c. of each?

    Reply

      I would think white whole wheat flour will work fine!!! I mix it up because thats what I have on hand, but i really think your cookie will turn out wonderful. Let me know how the texture turns out. I’m curious to see if it makes a difference.

    I used your recipe as a base, but modified by using only 2 tbsp of butter and applesauce for the rest, regular all purpose flour and white-wheat flour, no stevia and plain non-fat yogurt. The only thing I’ll do different next time is to use small less and small chocolate chips because I freeze the dough in a log shape so I can slice them thin for cooking. I don’t like the fat cake like style and the only way to combat that is to have very thin sliced cookies. My husband won’t eat them, but that’s ok. For his cookies (made a second batch) I do the white-wheat flour, and 1/4 of the butter is replaced with the applesauce, but you need at least 3/4 of the butter for the cookies to melt and crisp up. At least his are a little less bad for you.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?
