Easter Nest Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

1

                        pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ Sugar Cookie Mix

1

tablespoon Gold Medal™ All-Purpose Flour

1/3

cup butter, softened

1

egg

1

container (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped Fluffy White Frosting

1

cup flaked coconut

Food color

Jelly beans

Preparation

Heat oven to 375° F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, butter and egg until dough forms.

Shape dough into 24 (2-inch) balls. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

Frost cookies. Add coconut to a 1-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add 2 to 3 drops food color, shaking bag to blend color. It may be necessary to add 1 to 2 teaspoons water to help disperse the color evenly or additional food color until desired color is reached.

Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon coconut onto each cookie. Top with jelly beans.
