1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. oil
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
1/4 t. almond extract
1 1/2 c. shredded coconut, optional
72 egg shaped candies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter, sugar, and oil on medium speed. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Gradually add four. Mix on low speed until dough formed. Divide the dough into 24 paper lined muffin tin cups. Press dough evenly into cups. Top with 1 T. coconut. Spread to the edges of dough. It will shrink as it bakes. Bake for 11-13 minutes until coconut starts to brown. While still soft and warm, use wooden dowel or teaspoon to make indention in cooked dough for nests. Allow to cool completely. Add 3 egg candies per nest before serving. Cute idea for Easter or spring parties. Enjoy!
