Overnight Easter Cookies (Religious Themed)

In summary, this recipe uses Bible verses with each ingredient to explain the meaning of Easter while making the cookies. The vinegar part usually gets the strongest reaction from small children, but this recipe uses a technique to prevent this from happening. The overnight cookies are a great tool for the kiddos because they can do them in the small amount of time they are alloted during church.

Attached is one of my favorite Easter recipes to make with children (I did with my younger siblings before I had my own child -- this will be our first time doing it with her, and at 1 she won't get much out of it, but it is a nice tradition).

It explains the meaning of Easter while making the cookies -- it uses Bible verses with each ingredient. I have been using Pampered Chef items with this recipe for a few years now (from my hosting only days), so they are included in the recipe.

Hope you enjoy!

(note to self, next March I could put together Easter cookie packs and include the PC items as a bundle and include the recipe... have to remember to do!)

We have definitely enjoyed doing it for several years (my youngest brother and sisters are 19-22 years younger than I am and my brother has 3 children 1, 5 and 6), I skipped doing it last year (I was still recovering from a c-section) but look forward to doing it this year, even though Abby won't possibly understand what is going on.

The vinegar part usually gets the strongest reaction from small children (they gave that to Jesus to drink?!?)

Hope you enjoy it.
 
Yes, I posted it the other day on here... :)
 
Do you really leave the cookies in the oven all night? On 300 degrees? I'm sorry. I have never heard of this. This sounds like a great tool for the kiddos. I kept wondering and praying about sharing The Passion of the Christ with our older kids (ages 8 and 9), but I think they are still a bit young. This would be a great message. Thanks for sharing!
 
What a cute idea. I think I am going to try this with my two boys, ages 6 and 4. This will also come in handy when I am going to start teaching pre-school. Thanks for sharing.

You turn the oven off once you put the cookies in there.

All the kids at the church get to make these every year. They got to do them this past Sunday! It's great since it is something they can do in the small amount of time they are alloted during church. They look forward to it every year. It is surprising to them that the pastry is hollow once it is baked! (Plus, they are soooooooooo yummy!!!)

I really like the overnight cookies, and will do them next year when my littlest is 3!

We made the cookies last year and I am not sure what we did wrong, but they never rose. It looked like 1 big pancake when we opened the oven the next morning. Will try them again.:eek:

We've never had this problem -- I'd suggest maybe turning the oven up slightly and turning it on earlier and making sure that stiff peaks form when mixing.
