Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup chow mein noodles
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional)
  • 1/2 cup milk or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or butter (optional)
  • Pastel candy eggs (2–4 per cookie, depending on size)
  • Colorful sprinkles or nonpareils (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In one bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. In another larger bowl, beat the softened butter along with granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and an egg; mix in dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  3. Flatten about 1 tablespoon of dough into disks on your baking sheet and bake them for 8-10 minutes until set at the edges. Let them cool completely.
  4. Microwave milk chocolate chips in increments of 30 seconds until smooth. If needed, add coconut oil or shortening to thin out the mixture. Toss chow mein noodles into a large bowl with melted chocolate until fully coated.
  5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of coated noodles onto each cooled cookie base and shape them into circular nests with a hollow center.
  6. In another bowl, melt milk or dark chocolate chips again. Mix in coconut oil or butter and spoon this melted chocolate into each nest's center until about halfway full.
  7. Once everything has set and cooled, gently press in pastel candy eggs into each nest's center.
