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?

      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 Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.

Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
