Too sweet to hide, these fun Coconut Cookie Nests are the perfect addition to your Easter festivities.

Coconut Cookie Nests

2 large egg whites
2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 colors of food coloring (optional)
12 NESTLÉ CRUNCH or BUTTERFINGER NestEggs, unwrapped

1. PREHEAT oven to 325° F. Lightly grease and flour baking sheet.
2. WHISK egg whites until frothy in medium bowl. Stir in coconut, sugar, flour, vanilla extract and salt until well blended. Divide coconut mixture into 4 bowls. Add 1 to 2 drops different color food coloring to each bowl; mix until colors are dispersed evenly. Drop by tablespoonfuls into 12 mounds 1 1/2 inches apart. Press centers in slightly to form nests.
