Next to a nice glazed ham, deviled egg chicks, and Easter themed sugar cookies, these sweet treats are one of our favorite recipes to make together during Easter.
An Easy Easter Dessert
Even though this Easter birds nest cookies recipe is normally made for Easter, don’t forget, these little nests can be filled with red and green chocolate candies for Christmas or even black and orange jelly beans for Halloween! Add some cocoa for a different version of chocolate bird egg nest cookies and fill with peanut butter candies or white chocolate chips! The options are endless, get creative!
How To Make Birds Nest Cookies
These festive little Swedish birds nest cookies only use 6 ingredients and are super fun to make with the kiddos! Allow the cookies to cool completely before adding the candy-coated chocolate eggs. You don’t want them to melt!
To keep the chocolate eggs (or other candies) in the middle, you can add a dab of frosting or candy melts in the center before putting the candies in. Keep your coconut macaroon birds nest cookies in a single layer in an airtight container so they don’t dry out. They are best when they are moist and chewy!
Can You Freeze Coconut Macaroons?
You can definitely freeze birds nest cookies after they are baked, but leave out the candies and put them in after they are thawed out.
