Resurrection Cookies
Team kids gathered to make the recipe for resurrection cookies on Easter Eve. Every ingredient has a meaning and accompanying Bible verse, including crushed nuts, vinegar, salt, sugar, eggs, etc. Kids helped me to read the Bible verses, then joined with their usual enthusiasm in the cooking. At the end we taped shut the oven with cookies inside, to represent the sealed tomb. The despair we felt at not eating our just-made cookies ( they dried in the hot oven overnight) must have rivaled the despair of Jesus disciples at the tomb that night.
I just found the recipe for that online on Easter Eve! I didn’t have time to gather the ingredients to make them, but I’m saving that recipe for next year. What I’d be interested in knowing is if they taste good… the ingredients don’t make the cookies look too promising!!!
