M&M Cookies

May 8, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

Howdy!

Happy Friday to you!  I am so happy the weekend is just about here.  It’s Mother’s Day weekend and I think I am going to dinner Saturday evening with Little Jenny.  She has to work on Mother’s Day so we are celebrating on Saturday.  I’m glad to be honest.  Sunday’s are my relaxing and baking day.  Speaking of baking, last Sunday I made today’s recipe.  One of my favorite Sunday things to do is to bake cookies.  I was inspired to make these cookies by going to Target and seeing a big rack of M&M’s.  I love M&M’s!  There one of those secret indulgences that I have.  Anyway, I saw on the rack Mini M&M’s and I knew I had to buy them to make cookies.
M&M Cookies
I have to admit to you these cookies are good! They are light, buttery, sweet but not overly too sweet and so cute! I am in love with my new cookie. The cookie part is a combination of a sugar cookie and a chocolate chip cookie. They are soft centered and crispy around the edges. I under-baked them by about a minute to keep them soft in the middle. The little M&M’s are great too. They barely cracked like regular M&M’s do in cookies when baking.
M&M Cookies
The recipe is a breeze to make too! The ingredients are the basics; flour, sugar, butter and Mini M&M’s. The recipe makes 54 cookies, well maybe a little more, but I did eat the batter. Speaking of batter, did you know that cookie dough batter has more calories than a cookie? I don’t understand how that all works, but it’s true. So if you can resist, don’t eat the batter. I was weak and took a few little scoops.
M&M Cookies
These cookies would be great for a kids party. They are so colorful and get this only 77 calories and 6 grams of sugar. I don’t think that is too bad for cookies. Mmmm, cookies…. The cookies will last about 7 days in a sealed container or you can freeze them for up to 3 months. I froze half the batch. You know what else? Frozen cookies taste good to eat too!

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!

Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂

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!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
