Easter Nest Cookies

Check Out My New eBay Store!

INGREDIENTS:
check for ingredient coupons here
Round cookies of your choice (store bought or bake your own)
1 container (12 oz) Betty Crocker Whipped fluffy white frosting
1 cup flaked coconut
Food color
Jelly beans
(see my tips below)

See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos here!

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Frost cookies as shown in the image.

2:  Add about 1/4 coconut to a 1-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag (see my tips below). Add 2 to 3 drops food color and shake bag to blend color. It may be necessary to add a drop or two of water to help disperse the color evenly or add additional food color until desired color is reached. Repeat with other colors.

3:  Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon colored coconut onto each cookie and top with jelly beans.

Darlene’s Tips:  You can put the coconut and food coloring into a small plastic container with a lid and shake it. It’s easier to get all the coconut out so there is no waste. Wash the container for the next batch. If you don’t like jelly beans, chocolate eggs will work!  Or top with a peeps chick!  A big coconut nest on the top of a cake might be cool too!
