Coconut-Macaroon Nests. Perfect Easter Cookies!


Vegetable oil cooking spray
4 Large Egg Whites
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1 pkg. (14 oz.) sweetened flaked Coconut

*OPTIONAL for getting eggs to stick:
Caramel/chocolate
jelly/chocolate beans


  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees, and coat muffin tins with cooking spray (spray right onto tins; no paper cups needed).
  2. In a bowl, stir together whites and salt with a fork; mix in coconut.  Drop 2 Tbs of mixture into each prepared tin.
  3. Lightly press mixture into bottom of each cup.  Bake until light golden brown on the top, 28-30 minutes.
  4. Let cool in tins 10 minutes, then run a butter knife around sides to loosen.  Lift out of cups and let cool completely.
  5. *If desired, melt caramel/cream (like for caramel bars) or chocolate to stick the jelly or chocolate eggs/beans to.  Drop a small amount into each nest, and top with eggs.  Let cool completely.
