Bird’s Nest Cookies

Bird's Nest Cookies are festive, yummy, and incredibly easy to make. You only need 4 ingredients to make them and don't require any baking!

My Mom's deviled egg recipe has always been my favorite. She uses my Grandma's recipe that gives the filling a sweeter taste. Over the years we've added in bacon and jalapeno, because, why not?
