Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 shortening
1/3 sugar
1 egg white
1 teaspoon mexican vanilla
2 tablespoons milk
2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
6 ounces of jelly belly jelly beans, assorted colors, (the small shiny jelly beans)

Steps:

  • 1. This recipe makes 30 cookies. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Sift together the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix the shortening, sugar, milk, egg white and the vanilla in a large bowl until well blended. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Add the coconut and mix well. Form into 30 one-inch balls. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Depress the center with your thumb, leaving a thumbrint in the center of the cookie. (that is the nest that holds the eggs) Bake in a pre-heated oven for about 10 or 12 minutes, depending on your oven, just until the bottoms start to brown and a hint of brown reaches the tops of the cookies. Remove from the oven and place the Jelly Belly beans, 4 or 5 to a nest. Return the cookies to the oven and bake 5 minutes more. Watch them carefully the last couple of minutes to make sure they don't melt. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Happy Easter!

These cookies were delicious! I used a combination of chocolate chips and peanut butter chips, and they were perfect. They're so easy to make and they're the perfect size for a snack or dessert. I will definitely be making these again.
