Peanut Butter Chip Yogurt Cookies

September 1, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Ahh, this Friday you can tell it’s a blue moon!!  I was having major road rage!  I am normally not that person, but geez, everybody and I mean everybody was driving about 10 miles under the speed limit.  Make me crazy!!  Then I go to Trader Joe’s to pick up some things and sure enough everybody is just walking around with their head in the clouds.  I swear I wanted to pick them up and punt them like a football.  Needless to say I picked up a couple of things and ran out of there.  No major shopping on this trip, I couldn’t take it, so I’ll go back tomorrow morning when no one is in the store.  I know this doesn’t sound like me, but oh my gosh, no one was moving!!!  I came home and decided to get my frustration out by doing some cardio.  I feel so much better now!  Glad I can just relax and chill for the rest of the day!  Ahhhh!!

I know this week I am giving you two cookie recipes, but I was pretty intrigued when Healthy in  A Nutshell commented on my blog for the Chocolate Chip Medley Yogurt Cookies.  She asked, could you sub yogurt or applesauce for the butter in these cookies?  She got me thinking, hmm, could I?  Well I could do anything I want, but how will it turn out?  As you can see I’m posting them, so that means they turned out!!  Yah!!!!

I was actually pretty impressed with them.  They were super easy to make, I didn’t even use a hand mixer, I just blended it all together with a spoon.  I pretty much took the same recipe as my Chocolate Chip Medley Cookies, but cut the recipe in half, since I wasn’t sure of the outcome.  I decided to skip the butter completely and use 1/2 cup of greek yogurt instead.  I also decided to use 1/2 cup peanut butter chips, since I was out of chocolate chips and you know I do have a love for peanut butter.  How did the cookies come out?  I think pretty darn good!!!


These cookies turned out cakey and puffy!  If you like more of a muffin type cookie, then you will like these.  There sweet with little peanut butter chips, which I love.  My Husband had one and he didn’t care for them.  He said he didn’t like the texture.  He is more of a flat, crispy cookie person.  But I like them!!  I was smart on this recipe too!  I decided to keep them all to myself instead of giving them away!  Maybe that isn’t such a good thing?   Because as soon as I got up this morning I ate two. Shame on me!!!  But one thing good about these cookies is there low in fat and low in calories.  I love that!!!

The shape of the cookies are like I told you on the other cookies, whatever shape you make them, is the shape they will turn out.  I tried to make them round, but some of them turned out a little funny shaped.  Hey, I’m ok with that!  It’s the taste that matters!

This is kind of off the subject, but I have a little advice for you!  If you don’t want your Husband to know something don’t to post it to your blog!!  I’m guessing my Husband reads my blog everyday at work, which I am so flattered!  he he  I think that is so nice, but, he found out that the Chocolate Chip Medley Cookies were made with yogurt and Stevia.  After he said the cookies were really good and everybody loved them.  Then he came home the next day and said those cookies were made with yogurt and Stevia!  Remember he hates yogurt!!  Then he said you didn’t use sugar, they weren’t sweet enough.  I told him Stevia is sweeter than sugar, plus I did use brown sugar in the cookies, plus a bazillion chocolate chips.  I don’t think he believed me about the brown sugar.  Then he said well I liked them, but.  Nah, there are no buts!!!  He liked them until he found out what was in them.  I swear people are so funny about these kind of things.  I try to keep some of these things a secret so I don’t get that kind of negative feedback.  If I like something, then I find out what was in it, I still like it.  My opinion of the item didn’t change.  I just thing huh, maybe I should try that myself?  Thats how I fell head over heals with sweet potatoes and black beans.  I never liked it, then I tried it somewhere and now I wonder why I went so long without it.  Do you ever run into that?  So ladies, if you don’t want your men to know, don’t post it!!!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. In a bowl add flour, baking soda and salt; set a side.

Did you check out the stats on these cookies?  Pretty nice being only 42 calories!!   The only problem is can you eat just one?  I couldn’t!  I ate four yesterday and so far three today.  I should have given them away!  Now all I want to do is eat cookies, lots of cookies!!!  Oh no!  I think it’s the chilly weather getting to me!  Comfort food season is coming!  Come on summer heat!  I need you, so I’ll want fruit smoothies and BBQ!

I want to thank you for listening to me moan and groan about commutes and Husbands!  Sometimes you just need to get that stuff out and you feel so much better!  Do you have a funny Husband or Wife story?  If you do, please share!!!

Have a great Holiday Weekend!!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  I also want to thank you for your comments and suggestions.  Because of you, I try new things, like these cookies!!!

    If I was going to use regular sugar, would it be the same amount as the stevia?

    We all need a low cal cookie in our repertoire! These look so yummy!

    PS…I was roasting eggplant this morning and my hubby asked what they were. I told him, “a vegetable,” trying to be evasive. He replied, “they look like squirt bottles.” Huh??

    Ha! I’m not sure if my husband really reads my blog, but I sure try to sneak some stuff by him. I always wait for him to eat it first, that way if he then finds out I healthified the recipe, he can’t change his mind!

      lol, I never tell my Husband what is in it until after. If he loved it before he changes his mind when he finds out! He’s just crazy!!

    Would they be able to be frozen? I make 150-160 dozens of bars and cookies each year for Christmas gifts and have to make them ahead and freeze them. then I haul all the boxes out of the freezer, and literally have an assembly line for boxing them up! TIA They sound fab!

      Hmmm, I don’t know! I can’t recall if I froze the cookies or not. I asked my Husband and he couldn’t remember. I don’t see why not, but honestly I’m not sure. I’ll make them again, and see how they turn out frozen. What a great idea to make cookies now and freeze them for Christmas! I love that idea!!

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?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
