Birds Nest cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Toast 1.5 cups of coconut flakes on an ungreased cookie sheet for about 15 minutes. Stir frequently.

For the cookie:
2 stick of butter
2 cups of flour
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Blend together all ingredients to make cookie dough. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and then roll the ball in the toasted coconut. Push the center of the ball in with your finger to make a nest. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool, and fill with your favorite treats....jelly beans, m&m's, any egg shaped candy etc. I also added some bling, by scattering some edible pearls on my cookies.
