You can use yogurt in cookies in place of eggs Isaac Send a noteboard - 22/10/2011 02:00:42 PM
Good to see ya BTW, so rarely (never) see you here on the CMB

Banana, yogurt and kiwi are not suitable ingredients for cookie dough. Unless you add a minuscule quantity, they would make any cookie dough too wet. The moisture in cookie dough essentially comes from fat (occasionally with some egg), or you end up with something more like cake/brownies etc.


I do actually have a yogurt cookie recipe for chocolate chip, subs in for egg basically, a quarter cup yogurt per egg is the loose rule of thumb I know of and I'm told half a bananas can also substitute for 1 egg in a recipe though I've never done it myself, but I would speculate that recipe below could substitute the half cup of yogurt with a quarter cup and half a banana... I don't know about substituting in kiwi in place of the chocolate chips though I'd guess a recipe this size, stripped of chips, might come out okay with a kiwi in it, or maybe half of one.

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
