Notes: This recipe is a sweet way to teach the story of Jesus' resurrection while involving even the tiniest cooks!
*Step one: Beating the nuts with a wooden spoon represents that Jesus was arrested and beaten by Roman soldiers
*Step two:Have the children smell the vinegar and talk about how Jesus was forced to drink it when he was thirsty on the cross. It is added to the bowl.
*Step three: Egg whites are added. Eggs represent life and that by giving His life, Jesus gave us eternal life.
*Step four: Give each child a little salt in their hand and encourage them to taste it. The salt represents the salty tears that were shed by Jesus’ followers and the bitterness of our sin. A pinch of salt is added to the bowl.
*Step five: Sugar was added to show that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us.
*Step six: The egg whites are beat to form peaks and the white color represents the purity in God’s eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Christ.
*Step seven: Fold in the nuts and drop by teaspoons onto a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus’ body was placed.
*Step eight: Use masking tape to seal the oven just as the tomb was sealed. Tell the children that this was purely symbolic and the cookies would bake fine without the tape. The oven is immediately turned off when the cookies are placed inside (300 degrees)
The next step is to go to bed and then on Easter morning open the oven and give everyone a cookie. As they take a bite they will discover that the cookies are hollow. Just as on the first Easter morning Jesus’ followers discovered the empty tomb.
