Store your delicious cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.

This will keep them fresh and crunchy for several days.

You can also refrigerate them if your kitchen is warm.

But be sure to bring them to room temperature before serving.

They’re much better at room temperature.

Just place them in an airtight container or freezer bag.

And they’ll last for up to 2 months!

Thaw them at room temperature before serving.

What Can I Put in the Center of My Bird’s Nest Cookies?

The center of your Bird’s Nest Cookies is where you can get creative!

Jelly beans are a classic choice. And one of my favs.

But any chocolate candy eggs or mini chocolate eggs work.

You could also use peanut butter M&Ms, or even chocolate-covered nuts.

Whatever you choose, it’ll be delicious!

 

 

Are No Bake Bird’s Nest Cookies Healthy?

These no bake birds nest cookies are a sweet treat! So enjoy them in moderation!

Of course they do have peanut butter, So protein, yay!

But they’re mainly just a fun and festive dessert.

If you’re looking for a healthier option, you could try using natural peanut butter?

Or a low-sugar marshmallow cream?

I haven’t tried those swaps myself and I’m afraid the natural peanut butter might turn out a lot more greasy.

But if you do try it, let me know how they turn out!
