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!

Equipment

  • Parchment paper
  • Baking sheet
  • Silicone spatula
  • Large glass heat-safe bowl
  • 2 tbsp cookie scoop

Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk chocolate baking chips
  • ½ cup peanut butter baking chips
  • cup semi-sweet chocolate baking chips
  • 1 tbsp green jimmies sprinkles
  • 1 tbsp green sugar sprinkles
  • 3 cups Frosted Flakes
  • 4 oz Whoppers Mini Robin Eggs

Instructions

  • Put your milk chocolate, peanut butter, and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl, such as a glass bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between. Continue this process until the mixture is fully melted and has a smooth consistency when you stir it.
  • Add your Frosted Flakes, and mix them just until they’re coated with the melted chocolate mixture.
  • Cover your 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.
