Easter Cookies
These cookies are basically made from vinegar, egg whites, salt, sugar and walnuts. Each ingredient has a spiritual representation and a scripture attached. As we beat the walnuts with a spoon we read about Jesus being scourged by the Roman soldiers, eggs represented life, etc. You put the cookies in the preheated oven overnight (turning OFF the oven), and in the morning the cookies are hollow, representing the empty tomb when Christ had been resurrected. (Yes Amberly, I stole these pictures and words from your blog because I was too lazy to type what you'd already said so well and because we ate our cookies before I got a picture.)
Kevin wanted to buy the kids those silly store bought baskets that look so fun and full of fun stuff and then you open them and its mostly packaging and tape. We did end up supplementing them with some more goodies. Amberly is at BYU-I and our nephew Josh is staying with us for the weekend, so he got to enjoy the fun store bought basket instead of Amberly.
Happy Easter
