Coconut and M&M’s Cookies #SundaySupper

March 24, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 50 Comments

Good morning!!!

Welcome to another edition of #SundaySupper!  Today’s mission was to make something for Passover or for Easter.  I had a hard time with this weeks mission.  I have a bazillion ideas on things to make, but I confuse myself so much, I don’t know what to make.  Does that ever happen to you?  I thought of making an egg dish, then I thought ham or some sort of  pastry, but instead I decided on cookies!  Yup cookies for Easter!  Why not?

Coconut and M&Ms Cookies

The reason for making these cookies to bring to #SundaySupper is that they are easy to share with others, and it’s all about sharing.  Plus they are full of coconut and for some reason when I think of Easter, I think of coconut.  Why is that?  Or maybe it’s just because I really like coconut?  I don’t know?  The other reason is because I had a bag of pastel M&M’s hanging out in my pantry begging for me to use them.  Yes I had M&M’s, shame on me, but it’s not my fault, I couldn’t resist them.  M&M’s are M&M’s no matter what, yet when they change the color of them, I must have them.  Who can resist such pretty pastel colors?  I have always been a big fan of M&M’s.  When I was in 7th grade I would take a bag of them with me to school just about everyday.  Matter in fact, my friends would call me M&M.  Goofy, huh!  But look at their pretty color, how can you resist?

Coconut and M&Ms Cookies


Darn M&M’s!!  🙂  I debated on adding chocolate chips to the cookies, but honestly I didn’t want to.  I thought the sweetness from my M&M’s were enough, plus I was after more of a coconut cookie rather than a chocolate chip cookie.  I am very happy with the outcome of my cookies.  The cookies are crispy on the outside, soft in the middle and have a slight crunch from the M&M’s.  The shredded coconut almost gives them a macaroon texture!  Love that!

Coconut and M&Ms Cookies

I love that picture above!  Anyway, I actually made these cookies twice this week.  I made a healthier version, and they tasted good, but they weren’t what I was looking for, so I decided to change-up my recipe and go a little less healthy, but don’t worry these cookies aren’t to bad for you!  I found the key to having the cookies you have always liked, is to make them smaller and savor every bite.  Even with M&M’s in them, they came in at 61 calories a cookie!  You can’t feel bad about that!

Coconut and M&Ms Cookies

Do you ever make any out of the ordinary dishes for your Easter?  Or do you go traditional?  Or do you go out?  I’m hoping to go out this year, especially since I’ll be going out-of-town for work the day after Easter.  Maybe my Husband will get the hint if he reads this.  🙂

Time to get going, be sure to check out everyone’s recipes to see what they are bringing to the table.

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I see we have both the connection of coconut with Easter and a love of M&M’s in common. M&M’s are my all-time favorite candy and I have to be mindful of how often I buy them or I’ll eat them too much. I do need to get some pretty Easter colored ones too. A good excuse would be to make your lovely cookies.

    See in this house we think Smarties are superior to M&M’s, but I bet either way these cookies would be wonderful with either.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
