Sugar Cookie Nests

With Easter just around the corner, it’s always great to have some fun and creative treats on hand. However, if you’re short on time, it can be challenging to come up with something that is both easy to make and delicious. That’s why I wanted to share with you a simple yet impressive recipe for Sugar Cookie Nests that are sure to wow your friends and family.

These adorable nests are made using a basic sugar cookie recipe as a base. The cookies are then topped with a delightful green chocolate ganache and decorated with colorful egg-shaped chocolate candies. The combination of the sweet cookie, creamy ganache, and crunchy chocolate candy makes for a truly irresistible treat that is perfect for spring and Easter.

What’s even better is that you can make these cookies with kids, making them a fun activity for the whole family. The kids will love getting creative with the decorations, and the result will be a beautiful display of bright and cheerful treats that are sure to impress.

How to make Sugar Cookie Nests

First, prepare the cookie dough by combining flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and creamy, then add egg and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture. Chill the dough for 2 hours (or 30 mins in the freezer) to make it easier to roll. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and use a 3-inch round cutter to shape cookies. Bake for 9-11 minutes at 375F (190C) and cool on a wire rack.

Pipe green chocolate ganache on top and decorate with egg-shaped chocolate candies. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Whether you’re looking for a last-minute Easter treat or simply want to indulge in something sweet and festive, these Sugar Cookie Nests are the perfect solution.
