Sprinkle a little salt on each child's hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest into the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus' followers and the bitterness of our own sins. Luke 23:27

Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12-15 minutes until stiff peaks are formed. Explain that the color white represents the purity in God's eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus. Isa. 1:18 and John 3:1-3
Fold in the broken nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto wax paper covered cookie sheets. Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was sealed. Matt.27:57-60

Go to bed. Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight. Jesus' followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed. John 16:20 and 22
On Resurrection morning, open the oven door and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are HOLLOW! On the first Resurrection dat Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty. Matt. 28:1-9. HE IS RISEN
