Ingredients

  • 90 candy coated chocolate eggs
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 ½ cups sweetened coconut flakes
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine flour, coconut and salt in a bowl.
  3. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Mix well.
  4. Divide into 30 pieces. With wet hands, shape each piece into a 2" circle. With your thumb, create an indent in the middle.
  5. Place on a parchment lined pan and bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
  6. Cool 1 minute or so. While the cookies are still soft, press the indent in the middle again (and reshape the cookie slightly if needed). Cool completely on the pan.
  7. Place 3 chocolate eggs in each cookie.

Notes

  • If you'd like to stick the eggs in the cookies, add a little bit of frosting inside each cookie before adding the eggs.
