Tips Tricks and FAQs

  • If you prefer, you can melt your chocolate chips and peanut butter chips in the microwave. Heat up in 30-second intervals and stir in between. 
  • Swap out the peanut butter chips for butterscotch chips if you prefer. 
  • If you prefer, you can use white chocolate instead of milk chocolate. 
  • Each bird nest cookie should use about 2 Tablespoons of cookie mixture. It works great to use the back of the spoon to shape the inside of the nest to put the eggs inside it. 
  • Double the batch if you are feeding a crowd. 
  • Be sure to let the cookies set prior to serving. It will take about 2 hours letting them set at room temperature. If you are in a hurry you can set them in the fridge or freezer.
