Easter Nest Cookies.  These little guys were harder than they look.  The original idea was an Easter basket cookie. Since I was going for fast and simple, I used sugar cookie mix, but that’s where things went sideways.  I was going to use the mini muffin tray, but it was missing. (Do either of my daughters want to fess up?)  So I tried to use the the mini baked donut pan, but things really stick to that one.  So I called in my wife to decorate, and they look good.  Frosting hides a multitude of baking sins.  This a just a little Easter cheer. Hope you like it.
