Chocolate Raspberry Yogurt Cookies

January 19, 2017 by Erin Palinski-Wade Leave a Comment

Chocolate Raspberry Yogurt Cookie Recipe

I shared these cookies with you last year, but since then I have worked on a little tweak that I think you will love even more. Okay, I can’t take all of the credit for the recipe adjustment. It was my little guy’s idea to transform them from standard raspberry oat cookies into chocolate raspberry cookies- and hey, who am I to argue with that? I am never going to say ‘no’ to chocolate!

I decided to whip up a batch of these cookies to help cut down on the amount of added sugar my family has been consuming since the holidays. Why do we need a bit of a sugar detox? Since Joey was turning 3, I decided to crack down on our potty training efforts. We have made little progress over the past six months so I decided enough was enough. Since I am home with the new baby right now anyway, it seemed like a good idea to start an intensive potty training boot camp (note to self: potty training a toddler while trying to soothe a newborn is NOT a good idea).

So the potty training crack down began and of course motivation is needed, right? Well I had exhausted the use of stickers, dollar store prizes, coloring books, etc and nothing was motivating this child. Then my husband introduced him to the Oreo cookie. Yes- we have a winner! This child will apparently do anything to eat an Oreo. And he doesn’t actually eat the cookie- just licks the cream in the middle (I don’t blame him, that’s my preferred method of eating them as well). So great, the Oreo was working and he was going on the potty consistently. The problem was the Oreos worked a little too well. He was now using the potty consistently every hour, avoiding accidents, and almost diaper free. And yes, he was requesting MANY Oreos for his efforts. 

A cookie here and there I am fine with. There’s nothing wrong with a little treat every now and then. But no 3-year-old should be eating a sleeve of Oreos! So I had to wean him off by finding a healthier compromise and these Chocolate Raspberry Yogurt Cookies were the perfect solution. They pack in real fruit, little added sugar, and provide a good source of whole grain and protein for less than 40 calories per cookie! You have to try them!

If you have a cookie-crazed child at home like I do (or cookie-crazed husband as well!) I definitely recommend making these together. Whenever you can get your child in on the action in the kitchen, they are more likely to eat what they have created. These cookies are so simple and fun to make, it’s the perfect recipe to get the whole family involved in making.
