Easter Story Cookies (Resurrection Cookies)
I just had these the other evening at a friend's home & she got them from another friend. They're
delicious, light & tell the Real Story of Easter. Great to make with your kids!
1 cup whole Pecans
3 Egg whites
1 tsp White Vinegar
1 cup of Sugar
Pinch of Salt
Preheat oven to 300 F
Supplies: zipper baggies, wooden spoon, tape, Bible
Place pecans in a baggie & let kids beat them with the spoon to break into small pieces (Jesus
was arrested by Roman soldiers & beaten, John 19:1-3). Put the vinegar into a bowl (Let kids
smell the vinegar. Jesus was thirsty upon the cross was given vinegar to drink, John 19:28-30).
Add egg whites to bowl with vinegar (Eggs represent life. Jesus gave His life to us, John 10:10-11)
Add pinch of salt (let children taste the salt. Salt represents the salty tears shed by Jesus' followers
& the bitterness of our own sins, Luke 23:27) Add the sugar. (This is the sweetest part of the story.
Jesus died because he loves us. He wants us to know & love Him. Psalm 34:8 & John 3:16) Beat on
high speed 12 - 15 minutes or until stiff peaks form. (The white color represents the purity in God's
eyes of those whose sins are cleansed by Jesus' death. Isaiah 1:18 & John 3:1-3) Fold in the nuts.
Drop by teaspoon onto wax paper covered cookie sheet. (Each mound represents the rocky tomb
where Jesus body was laid. Matthew 27:57-60) Put the cookie sheet into the oven, close the door &
turn off the heat (oven is OFF). Give each child a piece of tape & seal the oven door (Jesus tomb was
sealed by Pontius Pilate, Matthew 27:65-66. John 16:20-22 tells us that His followers would be sad to
leave the tomb) Leave the cookies in the oven overnight. The next morning give everyone a cookie. You'll
notice that the cookies are hollow. Just like the empty tomb that guarantees us our resurrection & hope
for eternal life. (Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb empty, Matthew 28:1-9).
Happy Easter!
