Easter Story Cookies

This is a recipe I want to do with my daughter tonight, and you can do it with your kids as well. It is a great way to spend some time with them, and explain the true meaning of Easter to them. It isn’t about the bunnies, the eggs & chocolates, but that there is a much larger, more fulfilling, reason to Easter.

    What a great idea. I wish I had done that with you but I am so proud that you are going it with your children.What a nice way for them to understand the story of Christs death and ressurection. ..Mom

    This is so great. I hope to do it today with my daughter, too. I’ve been looking for a way to make the story “real” and this looks like it would be received really well.
    Thanks!

    I hope you and your daughter enjoy this time as well, Iris. It’s so hard for them to understand, I’m hoping this will become a tradition with us. :) Enjoy! (and get this…naturally gluten-free to boot!). :)

    Jeanine..wonderful way for the little ones to understand the real Easter story.

  5. Mama Bear says:

    Thank you for this. My son isn’t nearly old enough to participate much less understand yet, but I’m bookmarking it and will definitely be doing this with him as soon as he is old enough!

    I’m so disgusted that Easter has become ‘the new Christmas’ (as heard in WALMART the other day). SICKENING.

  6. Jeanine says:

    The New Christmas?? That is sad. Everything has gotten so commercialized, it takes away from the real meaning behind it.

    We made these last year and my boys enjoyed getting to open the oven the next morning to see what happened overnight. They liked how the cookies were hollow..just as the tomb was empty. Lots of fun.

    Thanks so much for sharing this! I used it years ago w/ my 12 y/o daughter, but I haven’t been able to find my notes on the recipe for years now. I will have to add this to my Easter celebration for next year with my 2 y/o daughter, too!

    I'm looking for a chocolate chip cookie recipe to take to church this Sunday, and I found this instead. I'm sharing this link with all the ladies I know! Such a beautiful, memorable way to teach the true Easter story-and make cookies! And in the Lord's perfect timing, I found this BEFORE Easter this year, so we can all take part in making these and training up our children! Thank you Jeanine!

  12. Jeanine - The Baking Beauties says:

    @That Girl, NICE! So glad that you were able to find them BEFORE Easter. With my luck, I usually find fitting recipes a day too later. :) Enjoy the time (and story) with your kids!

  13. Sara Workman says:

    Growing up my mom would always do this with us four kids! What a fun way to remember the story of Jesus' suffering and have a special treat. While I didn't know it at the time that it was gluten free, now I know that I can still do it in the future when I have my own kids. Thanks for the reminder :)

  14. Jeanine - The Baking Beauties says:

    @Sara Workman Nice when something from your childhood is naturally GF that you can share it with your kids & grandkids. :)
