Whip up a quick batch of these super yummy Pumpkin Cheesecake Cake Batter Cookies and your family will be singing your praises right into the holidays!
If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time you will probably know this about me: I love easy. I don’t have the patience or attention span for anything that takes longer than a few minutes to get done. From crafts to food, I have to be able to complete my task in a short amount of time. These cookies totally fit that bill. Mega bonus points too because the word pumpkin is in the title!
I’ve always loved cake batter recipes. There are so many ways you can take cake mix and turn it into something spectacular. I especially love it when you can lighten up a recipe by making substitutions. I normally go the diet soda route but this time around I decided to substitute the oil in my cake batter cookies with Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Pumpkin Cheesecake and I made the right choice!
In all honesty, I’m not a huge fan of yogurt. My husband and kids love it but for me it’s just not the first thing I’d go for when I’m looking for a snack. My husband always asks me to try this flavor or that and I always respond with, “Nah. I’m just not a fan.” Well. I found Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Pumpkin Cheesecake while shopping in Walmart and thought maybe, just maybe I’ll like this one. I grabbed a few figuring if I didn’t like it, someone else in my house surly would. When I got home I popped it open and was so impressed. I found that it didn’t have a strong yogurt taste. It was light and fluffy and delicious! Now this. This is something I can incorporate into my diet! I could have stopped there but being the sweets lover that I am I decided to use my new-found favorite yogurt in a cookie recipe. They came out nice and chewy and everyone loved them!
The recipe is super, super easy! You will follow the package instructions but replace the oil with 1 container of Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Pumpkin Cheesecake. Bake as directed. Since this makes such a great seasonal treat, add some fall colors by drizzling melted orange chocolate over the cookies after they have cooled.
With the busiest time of year fast approaching, now is the time to figure out ways to minimize your to-do list and find ways to make your life a bit easier. If you are on the go all the time, Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! are a great choice for breakfast on the go. Stock up on your favorite flavors so that you always have a variety to choose from. You can also stock up on your favorite cake mixes so that you can whip up some delicious cake batter cookies while using ingredients you already have in your home. (Ahem. The yogurt.) Whatever you do, you won’t be sorry for finding ways to incorporate Yoplait into your life this holiday season.
There’s a handful of flavors that are seasonal so you’ll want to grab them when you see them while shopping at Walmart.
Yoplait Greek 100 Caramel Apple
