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?” 🙂

    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?

      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.

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Ha Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Halloween and Fall decor in July? Have I lost my mind? Nope, I haven’t, but on Saturday @krumpetshomedecor launched their Fall and Halloween! Soooooooo many cute pieces, I’m obsessed!
🎃
It’s hard to imagine Fall in a couple of months when the temps have been in the 100’s, but it will be here soon. Time to start planning!!! 
🎃
How I styled my bar cart is just an idea. Once I pull out my Fall/Halloween bins you will see these pieces in other parts of my home. The black wooden witches books will go in my kitchen to go with my black and white kitchen that I do every Halloween. The witches broom will also go on my shelf in the kitchen as my boys 🐶🐶 have been eyeing it up. I need to keep it away from them.
🎃
The beautiful reversible art work will go in my living room, as I like to do oranges and neutrals for fall. The 3 wooden pumpkins will go on my console table. I have it all planned out in my head. I’m kind of excited, but I will enjoy summer a little while longer.

Happy Tuesday! Here is a view of my garden taken a Happy Tuesday! Here is a view of my garden taken a few weeks ago. It’s so crazy how much it has grown now, compared to this picture. 
🌻
I had a lot of Zinnias self seed which makes me so happy because the ones I bought this year are yellow, which is not what I wanted, but the ones that self seeded are pink and orange. Woohoo! I’ll have to share what the garden looks today later. 
🌻
The Alyssum (white flowers on ground) all self seeded. It was looking bad earlier this spring so I pulled it all out. To my surprise it popped up all over my garden. The only problem is, it covered my stepping stones. So I can’t get in the garden without stepping on them.
🌻
If you swipe the photo you will see my last picture I took of my Hollyhock. It was so fun to see how big it would get. Unfortunately the flowers faded and it got rust. So I cut it down to the ground. I’ll pull it up this weekend.  I just hope it doesn’t self seed. It is too big for my garden and it’s pretty messy when the flowers and leaves drop.
🌻
We are supposed to be in the 100’s this week, so hoping everything survives. My potted plants do not look good. I will have make new pots. I don’t mind that. lol
🌻
Have a great day!!
