Tips;
Whip your egg whites in a metal or glass bowl, not a plastic one.
Be sure your mixing bowl is very clean.
Don’t get even a smidge of egg yolk in your egg whites. They will not whip correctly if there is any egg yolk in them.
Beat your meringue mixture just until it is able to hold a peak, don’t over beat. |

Notes: How To Make Resurrection Cookies
The night before:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
1: Place pecans in a plastic baggie and seal and beat the nuts with a wooden spoon to break them into small pieces. This represents when Jesus was arrested and beaten by Roman soldiers (Read John 19:1-3)
2: Smell the vinegar. Talk about how Jesus was forced to drink it when he was thirsty on the cross and add the vinegar to the bowl. (John 19:28-30)
3: Add egg whites to bowl. Eggs represent life and that by giving His life, Jesus gave us eternal life. (Read John 10:10-11)
4: Give everyone a little salt in their hand and encourage them to taste it. The salt represents the salty tears that were shed by Jesus’ followers and the bitterness of our sin. Place a pinch of salt is added to the bowl. (Read Luke 23:27)
5: Add the sugar. Sugar is added to show that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. (Read Psalms 34:8 and John 3:16)
6: Beat the egg whites to form peaks, about 10-12 minutes. The white color represents the purity in God’s eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Christ. (Read Isaiah 1:18 and John 3:1-3)
7: Fold in the nuts or mini chocolate chips and drop by teaspoons onto parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus’ body was placed. (Read Matthew 27:57-60)
8: Place cookie sheet in preheated oven and turn the oven OFF. Use masking tape to seal the oven just as the tomb was sealed. (Read Matthew 27:65-66)
9. Go to bed! Just as you may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight, Jesus’ followers were sad when the tomb was sealed and they had to leave his body there. (Read John 16:20,22)
Easter Morning
10. On Easter morning open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Take a bite and discover that the cookies are hollow just as on the first Easter morning Jesus’ followers discovered the empty tomb. (Read Matthew 28:1-9)
