Easter Egg Nests
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
1/4 c Sugar
1 Egg
1 ts Vanilla extract
3 dr yellow food color
1/4 c All-purpose flour
2 c Flaked coconut
36 Jelly beans

1. In a medium sized bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, beat the sugar, egg vanilla, and food color
until well blended. Beat in the flour until smooth, then fold in the coconut.

2. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets that have been coated with nonstick baking
spray. With a floured thumb, press an indention into the center of each cookie mixture to create a "nest."

3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.

4. Remove from the oven and gently push 2 candies into each nest, use jelly beans, m&m's, smarties, little
chocolate easter eggs, whatever you can think of.

5. Let the easter egg nests cool slightly on the cookie sheets, then remove to wire racks to chill completely.
Store in cookies in airtight containers.
