Sugar Cookie Bird’s Nest Recipe
Share +
Here is a sweet piece of dessert which
will make any kid and adult drool! With spring installing its
characteristics with every passing day, you would want your cooking to
match the season in the year. For this recipe of sugar cookie birds’
nest, you will need:
• sugar cookie dough;
• brown royal icing;
• Jelly Beans;
• brown royal icing;
• Jelly Beans;
Start by rolling out the sugar cookie
dough. Then, take a biscuit cutter and make a large circle. Do a long
strip of dough as well. Place them on a baking sheet, and wrap the
circle with the strip, just like in the photo. Gently seal the two
pieces together with your fingers. Put a bunch of parchment paper inside
the dough to make it stable while baking. Leave it to cool and begin
pouring the icing in an overlapping manner with the help of a piping
bag. Make the lines look as natural and random as possible. This will
give the nest a more life-like aspect.
Pipe the interior as well as all around the exterior of the nest.
Repeat this until the entire dough is covered. Next, make the bird out
of the rest of unbaked dough. Start with some leaf shapes, bake and then
color with some blue and yellow icing to make them look like different
sizes birds. After the icing has cooled for a bit (maybe pop it in the
fridge for some minutes), place some jelly beans to act like eggs.
Enjoy!
