Red Velvet Cookies

February 4, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 21 Comments

Hello!

Geesh, Monday already?  Where the heck does the time go?  I think there should be a law passed, who ever is in the Super Bowl, that State has off the next day whether your team wins or loses!  Wouldn’t that be nice to have today off?  Ok, I’m just dreaming right about now.  I think it’s the kind of day where we should have some cookies to forget its Monday!

Red Velvet Cookies

Little Jenny told me she was at Safeway and had a Red Velvet Cookie that was fluffy, light and tasted like cake and she said it was so good!  My brain started ticking and I thought, huh, I can make that and make it healthier then a Safeway Cookie!  At that moment I whipped out my blender and all my ingredients and got to work!

Red Velvet Cookies


How can I make this cookie healthier and cake like?  Hmmm, I automatically thought of my yogurt chocolate chips cookies, which were cake like.   So I decided instead of butter I’d use fat-free cream cheese and yogurt!!  For the sugar I used the NuNaturals Presweet Tagatose and for a little fiber I used whole wheat pastry flour.  Beat, blend and bake and out came a light, fluffy cookie!  Totally impressed!  I actually had an idea of a recipe and it came out perfect the first time!!  You don’t know how many times I try a recipe and it doesn’t always come out!!

Red Velvet Cookies

For an added little punch I used some white chocolate chips!  After all a cookie isn’t a cookie without chocolate chips!  They were the perfect addition to these cookies!  What else I like is that the cookies that they are so fluffy that you don’t even notice there are chips in them until you take a bite!  Nice little surprise   I gave my Husband and Jenny a cookie to try out and Jenny said mmmm, these are really good Jen and my Husband asked are these for my lunches next week?   I really like them!  Hey, they are a hit in this house and a hit with me!  I ate 3 of them, and froze them as soon as they were done cooling!  I can not have these around!  I can see eating the whole batch!

    YAY! A healthier red velvet cookie! I have everything to make this except the pastry flour and the plain yogurt. Do you think I could use regular flour (triple sifted) and sour cream?

    These look SO SO good. So soft and all of that melty white chocolate! 🙂 I’ve been wanting to make a cookie w/ greek yogurt in the dough for awhile now. I keep getting inspired. PS: I completely love red velvet!

      I like cookies with greek yogurt in them, but to be honest they don’t last as long as cookies made with butter! But i love that it is healthier and I can have more of them without the guilt! 🙂

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

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.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.

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.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

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.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

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.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

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.

My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

🌸
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?
