Easter Story Cookies

[J&D]

Someone was looking for this recipe over on the CB, so I thought I would post it here as well.

Ingredients/Supplies:
1 cup whole pecans
1 tsp vinegar
3 egg whites
pinch of salt
1 cup sugar
zipper bag
wooden spoon
tape
Bible
mixing bowl
mixer
wax paper
cookie sheet

Preheat oven to 300.
Place pecans in zipper bag and beat them with the wooden spoon to break into small pieces. After Jesus was arrested, the Roman soldiers beat him. Read John 19:1-3.
Put 1 tsp vinegar into a mixing bowl. Jesus was given vinegar to drink. Read John 19:28-30.
Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Jesus gave his life to give us life. Read John 10:10-11.
Add a pinch of salt to the bowl. This represents the salty tears shed by Jesus' followers and the bitterness of our own sin. Read Luke 23:27.
Add 1 cup of sugar. The sweetest part of the Easter story is that Jesus died because he loves us. He wants us to know this and that we belong to him. Read Psalm 34:8 and John 3:16.
Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12-15 minutes until stiff peaks are formed. The color white represents the purity in God's eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed. Read Isaiah 1:18 and John 3:1-3.
Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoon onto a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was laid. Read Matthew 27:57-60.
Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door, and turn the oven OFF. Seal the oven door with tape. Jesus' followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed. Read Matthew 27:65-66 and John 16:20-22. Leave the cookies in the oven overnight, and take them out the next day. The cookies will be hollow. Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty. Read Matthew 28:1-9.

Every year on Christmas Eve my DDs and their grandmothers bake Jesus a birthday cake. This Easter cookie recipe sounds like a great way to share this day with them. It isn't or shouldn't just be about presents or candy.

Thank you for sharing.

these cookies are sooooooo yummy. instead of using pecans, i used slated mixed nuts. i put them in the oven and then turned it off, but in the morning they were still sticky, so i turned the oven back on. thet worked and they came out superb but not really hollow.
