Chocolate Brownie Bird's Nest Cookies


HAPPY EASTER!


We are taking our little one to an Easter Egg Hunt party tomorrow and I want to take a treat that will appeal to both kids and adults - so I made these. Cute for the kids! Chocolate for the moms and dads that need it.
I chose to use yogurt-covered raisins for more natural-looking eggs, instead of the traditional candies. I hope everyone enjoys them!

Brownie Cookies
20-oz pkg. Fudge Brownie Mix
2 eggs
1/4 c. vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 350. Mix together all ingredients until well combined. Scoop out 1-inch balls and place on greased cookie sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until just set. Let cookies rest on sheets for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

**subbed Neufchatel Cheese for regular Cream Cheese 
**also subbed Whole Milk for the Half & Half

When cookies are cool, top with about 2 teaspoons of frosting and dip into green coconut or crushed chow mien noodles. Nestle in 3 yogurt-covered raisins. Stand back and revel in the cuteness you have created.

** I recommend chilling for at least 30 minutes to let cookies set up!
