These chocolate coconut nest cookies are perfect for Easter or anytime you want to make simple no-bake cookies! Use stevia-sweetened chocolate chips to make these cookies sugar free!
We’re having a low-key Easter this year and I’ve made a few goodies for our small celebration. These coconut nest cookies are a new treat for us this year. And they are so good I can’t believe we haven’t made them sooner!
Easter candy nests are usually made with chow mein noodles but I skipped the noodles and opted for shredded coconut instead. To make these cookies more, healthier, I switched regular chocolate chips with Lill’s stevia-sweetened milk chocolate chips.
