Resurection Cookies

OK, so I've been wanting to try this idea for a year now, a friend shared it with me last year, and I couldn't do it, (thanks Christy McLellan!!).

Resurrection cookies:

1 cup pecans

1 cup sugar

3 egg whites

1 tsp. vinegar

pinch of salt

spoon

baggie

tape

bible

Pre-mark the following verses in your bible:

John 19:1-3, John 19:28-30, John 10:10-11, Luke 23:27, John 3:16, Is 1:18, John 3:1-3, Matt 27:57-60, Matt 27:65-66, John 16:20-22, Matt 28:1-9

Directions for the cookies:

 You'll not only be making cookies, but telling the Easter story as well!!

*Preheat the oven to 300. This is important that you do this first!!

*In a sealed Ziploc bag, crush the pecans, and talk about how Jesus was beaten, read John 19:1-3.

*Smell the vinegar, put it in the mixing bowl and talk about the sour wine they gave Jesus to drink on the cross, read John 19:28-30.

*Taste the salt, put it in the bowl with the vinegar, and talk about how Jesus cried for what was happening, read  Luke 23:27 .

*Place the egg whites in the bowl, and whip them for 2 min. The eggs represent life, read John 10:10-11.

*Add the sugar while beating the whites. The sugar represents Jesus' dying on the cross for all our sins, read John 3:16.

Continue beating until you get stiff, white peaks. The white represents purity in new life from Jesus. Read Is. 1:18 & John 3:1-3

*Fold in the nuts carefully. Drop into tsp. mounds, to make tombs. Read  Matt 27:57-60.

*Put the cookie sheet in the oven, and turn it off. Seal it with tape. Read Matt 27:65-66.

* Go to bed. You may feel sad, read John 16:20-22.

*In the morning, open the oven and eat a cookie, Hollow cookies, empty Tomb read Matt 28:1-9.

Enjoy your Easter with your family, and celebrate the risen Savior!!
