Easy Easter Cookie Recipe- Bird’s Nests With Eggs!

When I am planning fun Easter treats with the kids, I always love to include things that have symbols that point back to the true meaning of Easter, which is the resurrection of Christ. These easy bird’s nest treats have “eggs” inside, which are one of the oldest symbols of the Resurrection! You can find all of my Easter activities for kids here. Today I’m going to show you my easy Easter cookie recipe- bird’s nests with eggs! 

Making fun recipes for holidays and feast day is one of my favorite ways to celebrate with kids! I have several reasons for this including that no kid gets too old to want to eat fun feast day treats, and also once people eat the food it’s gone, so there’s nothing to store the way there would be for a craft. I especially love the Easter Story Cookies recipe that follows along with Scripture to tell the Easter story for kids.

Cover you baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or other spoon, spoon your “nests” onto the parchment paper. After each scoop, use the back of the spoon to make a small divot in the cookie. This is where your “eggs” will go. At this point, you can also sprinkle with any sprinkles you desire. We used green sprinkles. 

Top each nest with 2 Whippers Mini Robin Eggs or any other candy that looks like eggs. When you’ve completed all the nests, place your baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set these no bake cookies. 

Now your adorable Easter cookies are ready to serve and eat! How adorable are these?

My kids love holding and eating their tiny little bird’s nests! These are so fun and colorful for serving anytime during the Easter season!
