Coconut Macaroon Nutella Nests

Recipe Added:  3/21/2012
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 large egg white
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups sweetened coconut
1 cup Nutella
M&M Speck-tacular eggs
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat liner. In a large bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, egg white, vanilla, and salt. Stir until combined. Add in the coconut and mix well. With a spoon, scoop up about 3 Tbsp of the dough and place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Form the cookies into the shape of a bird nest. Press down the center with your thumb.

Bake cookies 17 to 20 minutes, or until slightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and press your thumb down in the center of the nests again. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes or until they are firm and set. Remove with a spatula onto a cooling rack. Cool completely. Place about a Tbsp of Nutella in the center of each nest. Place 3 egg candies in the center of the nest. Finish decorating the nests and serve.
