Cookie Dough For Pregnant Women

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.
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)

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Me and the twins are forever in your debt!
Brilliant
This is awesome for a totally different reason. Peter is allergic to eggs so I’ve been collecting egg-free recipes for him. Thanks!
Hey! When I was pregnant I just used egg beaters instead of eggs, they are pasteurized!!!! That’s what I do with my kids since I once got salmonella from eating cookie dough!!!!
Two of my girlfriends are pregnant right now so I whipped up a batch to see how they tasted before I sent the recipe along. The dough is delicious and the cookies are great too! If you didn’t know it had yogurt in it, you would never know! I used raspberry yogurt because it was the only flavor I had that didn’t have chunks of fruit in it, and you can only taste the faintest raspberry flavor if you really look for it. My husband can no longer yell at me for eating the raw dough! hehe! Thanks for the recipe!
