In our attempts to ensure that the boys have a full grasp on the Easter story, we tried our hand at Resurrection Cookies, certain that would be a fun way to illustrate and tell the story of Christ's death.
Well, the making of the cookies went fairly well. Kenny read the scriptures that went along with each step as Charlie appeared to pay attention. And Sam made zero attempt to even act like he knew Kenny was recounting a great story. But he's 5 and he likes to eat, so I fully expected him to be more interested in the food than listening.

We sealed up the tomb (aka stove) and went to bed with great anticipation of our cookies on Easter morning. Ok, so I was greatly anticipating. I think the boys forgot about it two and half seconds later.
On Sunday morning, I reminded the boys about our cookies and they rushed to check them out. If you've made Resurrection Cookies before, you know that the whole point of leaving them in a cooling oven all night is that you have hollow, or empty cookies the next day. Empty like the tomb of our Savior. Wonderful illustration, right?? Right. Unless your cookies really don't turn out so much hollow, but a slightly gooey concoction, that was actually quite tasty. But not empty.
Theologically incorrect cookies. Didn't quite make our point.
But we had cookies for breakfast, so no one but me was really disappointed in the outcome.
