Cookie Dough For Pregnant Women

by Kelsey Norwood

in Food,Making Eats

So this morning as I ate a yogurt for my second breakfast I was reminded of a little snack I would make for myself when I was pregnant. (I’m not pregnant now, but I still require a second breakfast.) For me the hardest food restriction was no cookie dough. I think I only disobeyed one or two times, but it was tough!About halfway through my pregnancy I came across a cookie recipe in my cookbook that calls for yogurt instead of eggs. Brilliant! From that point to the end of my pregnancy, whenever I had a hankering for some cookie dough, I whipped up that recipe and picked at the dough to my little heart’s content.

So here it is for all you pregnant women.

yogurt chocolate chip cookies

Chocolate Chip Yogurt Cookies

1/2 c. sugar*
1/2 c. packed brown sugar*
1/4 c. butter*
1/4 c. shortening*
1/2 c. nonfat yogurt (any flavor)
1 1/2 t. vanilla
1 3/4 c. flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 c. chocolate chips

Bake 8-12 minutes at 375.

(*I use less sugar and butter than my recipes call for. For this recipe I use 1/3 c. sugar and 1/3 c. brown sugar instead of 1/2 c. of each and 1/4 c. butter and no shortening. Read more about my baking secrets here)
