Peeps Chocolate Cookies Nesting Alternatives

To give the cookies a S’more flavor, you can use crushed graham crackers over the icing to create a nest for the Peep chick.

Prefer a salty-sweet treat? Use pretzel sticks to build a nest.

If you think coconut and Easter are a perfect match, lightly toast coconut in a warm oven (stirring often). Allow it to cool completely before topping the cookie.
