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!!!

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!

    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!!

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
