Birds Nest Cookie Ingredients

• Shredded Coconut– I use unsweetened shredded coconut because the chocolate adds enough sweetness to this cookie. If you can’t find shredded coconut you can also use coconut flakes
• Chocolate Chips– I use semi-sweet chocolate chips in this recipe, but you could also use dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips
• Cadbury Mini Eggs– these mini chocolate eggs are another one of my favorite Easter treats, but you could use any chocolate candy eggs like robin’s eggs or even jelly beans to put in the little nests

How To Make No Bake Chocolate Coconut Birds Nest Cookies

1. In a medium or large bowl add the coconut. In a separate large microwave-safe bowl add semisweet chocolate chips. Microwave at 30 second intervals stirring and returning to the microwave until the chocolate has melted. For this step you can also use a double boiler if you prefer.
2. Add the melted chocolate into the coconut.
3. Mix until chocolate is incorporated.
4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, wax paper or a silicone mat. Use a cookie scoop or large spoon to scoop the chocolate mixture onto your cookie sheet.
5. Use the flatter side of the spoon to make well in the center of each cookie (much like thumbprint cookies.)
6. Before the chocolate dries, add 2-3 Cadbury mini eggs or whatever candy you are using for the Easter eggs to each cookie. Refrigerate for 1 hour and enjoy! Store any extras in an air-tight container – but chances are you won’t have any left!
