How to Make Birds Nest Cookies

• Line a baking pan with parchment paper or waxed paper.
• Combine the milk chocolate chips and peanut butter chips in a double boiler over boiling water. Stir until melted and smooth, about 8 to 10 minutes.

• Combine melted chocolate and peanut butter chips with chow mein noodles in a medium sized bowl. Stir until well coated. 

• Use a large spoon to scoop the mixture out and onto the baking pan. 

• Form the mixture into nest shaped cookies, making a well in the middle to place your malted milk eggs. 

• Let the chocolate set out or in the freezer before serving. 

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.
