Happy Easter

I was working in Tucson yesterday and came home to a fresh batch of Easter Sugar Cookies, and Birds Nests. Two of Mackenzie's favorite treats to make, so much so, she makes them even when it's not Easter. They are really easy to make, taste great, and I recommend you try making them. I was told we could share one of each, the rest were for Mackenzie's CTR 7 class and my Home Teaching Families. The recipes will follow try, making them, they are delicious!!


Bird's Nests
1 bag of chocolate chips
1 bag of shredded coconut
1 1/2 bag of cadbury's robins eggs(you can do whatever you want with the other half of the bag)

Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, add the coconut, mix till it starts to harden. Form about 20 "nests" out of the coconut chocolate mixture. Place them on a cookie sheet with wax paper on it. Then put 3 robin's eggs in the middle of each nest.

The Easiest Cookie Recipe
1 Box Cake Mix(we prefer the confetti cakes or chocolate)
Make the recipe for the cake on the box but omit the water and one egg, and use only 1/3 cup of oil.
Bake on a cookie sheet, bake for 16-18 minutes, should make at least 18-20 cookies.
