List of Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 - 4 drops yellow food color
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups flaked coconut
36 jelly beans



Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, beat the sugar, egg, vanilla, and food color until well blended. Beat in the flour until smooth, then fold in the coconut. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheets. Flour your thumb, then press an indentation into the center of each cookie to create a nest.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and gently push 2 jelly beans into each nest. Let the nests cool slightly on the cookie sheets, then remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in airtight containers. Yields 18 small nests.
