Birds Nest Cookie Ingredients
One of the things I love best about this recipe is that it’s just two ingredients. 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 even healthier, I switched regular chocolate chips with Lily’s stevia-sweetened milk chocolate chips. To take them to the next level, you could even make your own shredded coconut using this simple recipe.
So that’s it. The ingredients are shredded coconut and chocolate chips. Super easy and straightforward.
How To Make Birds Nest Cookies

Stir in the shredded coconut.
Scoop the coconut nest cookies out onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Flatten the cookies with a spoon.
