Coconut cookies become spring nests for Jelly Belly beans.

A darling treat for birthday parties, baby showers or just for fun.


Ingredients (makes 30 Cookies)

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 egg (white only)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • 140g Jelly Belly jelly beans (flavours of your choice)

Method

  1. Heat oven to 190°C. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, egg white and vanilla extract until well blended. Add flour mixture and milk until blended. Stir in coconut.
  2. Roll dough into a ball, divide in half. Roll 15 one-inch balls from each half and place on ungreased baking sheet. Make thumb print depression in center of each ball to form nest.
  3. Bake 6 minutes. Remove from oven and place 4 Jelly Belly beans in center of each cookie. Return to oven and bake 5 more minutes. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool.

  • Interesting. Not something I’ve seen or tried before but it looks great and enticing and appealing. I imagine kids would love them, and even better, can help making or decorating them.
