Alan found a great website (http://www.squidoo.com/resurrectioncookies) that talk about teaching Easter to children and on it was a recipe for Resurrection Cookies. I recommend this to everyone! Before Cameron went to bed we went through the recipe which had different ingredients to symbolize different things, such as vinegar that the symbolized what the soldiers gave Jesus to drink, and salt, which represented the tears of people who were sad to see Him die. You leave the cookies in the "tomb" (the oven turned off), overnight an wait to get them out in the morning...it was hard for us all to wait, but it yielded to great expectation, excitement, and thankfulness that the cookies were hollow and empty inside. They were also yummy! We look forward to making this an Easter tradition.
