Ann, a reader, sent me the recipe to these cookies. She got it at this blog. I thought it was a great idea so we tried it with the girls this Easter. Henry read the scriptures while the girls and I mixed the ingredients.
Ingredients:
1 c. whole pecans
1 tsp vinegar
3 egg whites
1 pinch of salt
1 c. of sugar
You will need:
Mixing bowl
Wooden spoon
Bible
Ziplock baggie
Wax paper
Cookie sheet
Tape
Mixer
Place pecans in the baggie and let the children beat them with the wooden spoon to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was arrested, He was beaten by the Roman soldiers. (Read John 19:1-3)
Sprinkle a little salt into the children’s hand and let them taste it, then brush the rest into the bowl. Explain that it represents the salty tears shed by Jesus’ followers and the bitterness of our own sin. (Read Luke 23:27)
So far the ingredients aren’t very appetizing. Add 1 cup of sugar. Explain that the sweetest part of this story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to know and belong to Him. (Read Psalm 34:8 and John 3:16)
Go to bed!
On Resurrection morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie!

We do “Resurrection Rolls.” I first seen the recipe on pinterest, which linked to – http://eatatallies.com/2011/04/resurrection-rolls/
I may try your recipe for the cookies on another night this week though. Thanks for sharing.
