Description

Festive Easter cookies in the shape of nests with eggs are not only a beautiful themed treat, but also very delicious! The shaped cookies turn out tender and crispy, with a creamy chocolate filling inside and sweet figurines of colorful eggs. If you can't find egg-shaped candies, use any type of dragees.

Instructions

Combine the flour with cocoa, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Mix the butter with the powdered sugar.
Add the egg and beat again.
Combine both mixtures.
Knead the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1.5-2 hours.
Pinch off small pieces from the chilled dough.
Use a garlic press to turn the dough into thin strips.
Form the nests. Use a shot glass or a bottle cork to press and create a hollow in the center.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
Let's prepare the chocolate filling. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it in a water bath together with the cream.
Fill each cookie with chocolate.
Once the filling has slightly set, you can decorate with candy eggs.
Here is a lovely Easter cookie "Bird Nests".

Happy holidays!
