Peanut M&M Cookie Cups

Peanut M&M Cookie Cups

Uh-oh the sun has gone again! What is up with this?!

I had my legs out on Monday! The Air con was on for the first time as well. And the best thing ever? Clothes dried out on the line. They smell amazzzzzzzzing!

I’m not too keen on towels dried out on the line though, don’t like drying myself off with a rock…Doesn’t seem to matter how much fabric softener I use!

So you all know how I’m allergic to nuts right? Well, last month we went to M&M; world in London and then went and saw my Dad, but I didn’t know I was seeing my Dad when I went to M&M; world so didn’t get him any peanut M&M;’s. Daughter fail!

Peanut M&M Cookie Cups

I felt really guilty, so decided to make these Peanut M&M Cookie Cups for him! I had to make them at arms length and I couldn’t taste the dough.

Peanut M&M Cookie Cups
It was so pants not being able to try the dough because that is one of the highlights of making cookie dough. Eating so much you wonder how many cookies you’re going to end up with…
My nose started itching as well so I had to be really quick and get the dough made and in the oven as quick as possible!
Luckily my Dad loved them and after my nose stopped itching I was all good again so everything turned out great!

I’d never used this dough before, but it was good to work with. I may have to make it again, but nut free!

    You're a great daughter to make something for your dad that you are allergic to! They look amazing! I've never tried bread flour in a cookie before so that's an interesting take.
    I love peanut M&M; so I'm anxious to try these bad boys. 🙂
