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!!

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!
