Peep peep! This is the perfect Easter treat! In this recipe, Chicks roost happily on jelly-bean eggs atop coconut macaroon nests. Serve these cute cookies for dessert, or use them as table favors for a spring feast. Speckled jelly beans give you the most realistic look, but any color will do the trick.

==Supplies Needed==
Supplies:
*2 eggs
*1/2 cup sugar
*1 teaspoon vanilla
*3 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
*1/4 cup all-purpose flour
*36 jelly beans
*12 yellow or pink PEEPS® Chicks
==Directions==
Step One: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a baking sheet or line with parchment baking paper. 
Step Two: In a bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until pale and frothy, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the coconut and flour until well blended. 
Step Three: To make the nests, make 12 mounds of about 3 tablespoons batter each, placing them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Use a spoon to spread each mound into a 2 1/2-inch circle with a depression in the center. 
Step Four: Bake until the nests are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully press 3 jelly beans into the center of each nest. Use a spatula to transfer the nests to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the nests in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Top each nest with a Chick just before serving.
