Coconut Macaroon Nest

I love anything made with coconut. I came across this recipe either on pintrest or just in google. I am not entirely sure where I found it.

It is awesome, the kids where not so fond of them but that's okay I made them because I LOVE coconut.

Here is the recipe I will include the original website at the bottom. In brackets will be what I used for the recipe.

Coconut Macaroon Nutella Nests


Yield: 10 nests
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 17-20 minutes
Coconut cookie nests filled with Nutella and Easter egg candies. These cookies are perfect for Spring and Easter.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 large egg white
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups sweetened coconut (I used unsweetened)
1 cup Nutella (I used melted chocolate)
M&M Speck-tacular Eggs (or other Easter candy) (I used a mix of jelly beans and chocolate malt eggs)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, egg white, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until combined. Add in the coconut and mix well.
3. With a spoon, scoop up about 2 Tablespoons of the dough and place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Form the cookies into the shape of a bird nest. Press down the center with your thumb.
4. Bake cookies for 17 to 20 minutes, or until slightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and press your thumb down in the center of the nests again. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes or until they are firm and set. Remove with a spatula onto a cooling rack. Cool completely.
5. Place about a tablespoon of Nutella in the center of each nest. Place 3 egg candies in the center of the nest. Finish decorating the nests and serve.
Note-you can make these 2-3 days in advance. Store in an air tight container on the counter.

My finished product!
