The egg dish.
You start with a deviled egg dish. I bought mine a few years back at Crate and Barrel, and I noticed they have a similar one on sale right now for $15.96.
DIY Easter Egg Cookies:
1. Spray a deviled egg pan with cooking spray.
2. Make the no-bake cookie recipe (below).
3. Fill the egg molds with dough.
4. Refrigerate.
5. Display by either leaving in the pan and adding coconut and jelly beans in the center, or remove the cookies from the mold, flipping them over to look like an egg, and display on a platter.
Touch of coconut.
Such a quick way to whip up an Easter dessert! Everyone loves no-bake cookies. And with a touch of coconut?

Could you use old fashioned oats?
You could try it … I’ve only use the “quick” oats.
I don’t think you can go wrong with chocolate and coconut!
Such cute and clever ideas!!
So fun that you made them in the deviled egg holder. Now I find myself wishing I had one so I could make them egg shaped.
I love that I can leave my oven off! No bake desserts for the win!
These are so cute and look so scrumptious!
I am not even kidding when I say this… I looked at one of these plates the other day, and thought to myself of other ways it can be used. Otherwise I have one dish used for one purpose, eggs, and I cannot have uni-task plates around. So this is awesome!
I agree. I always want another reason to use something. I was thrilled, too! :)
These are so cute and that is a great use for that dish!!
Thanks, Tieghan. Never had another use, other than eggs! I’m happy! :)
