Tombstone Cookies Food

TOMBSTONE COOKIES

Steps:

• Line 13x9-inch pan with foil or waxed paper; grease generously with cooking spray. In 3-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows, stirring until melted. Remove from heat; stir in cereal. Press evenly in pan using greased spatula or waxed paper. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. Using greased 3-inch tombstone-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 16 tombstones. In small bowl, place crushed wafer cookies.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave 2/3 cup of the frosting on High 20 to 30 seconds or until melted. Dip bottom of each treat into melted frosting, tapping off excess. Immediately coat dipped portion with cookie crumbs. Place on cookie sheet to set, about 10 minutes.
• Place vanilla frosting in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag. Twist bag above frosting; squeeze bag to pipe RIP (Rest In Peace) on each treat.

EMPTY TOMB COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees--you MUST do it now. Also, gather a cooking mallet, kitchen mixer, masking tape and Bible.
• Read John 19:1-3 ~ Jesus was beaten for our sins; beat the nuts with a cooking mallet; set aside.
• Read John 19:28-30 - Jesus drank something like vinegar (gall), sniff the fragrance, dip finger in and taste, too; place the vinegar in a mixing bowl.
• Read John 10:10-11 - Egg whites symbolize Jesus' holy, innocent life; add whites to the bowl with the vinegar.
• Read Luke 23:27 - the bitter tears of the women; taste a few grains, remember your own sins; add the salt to the bowl.
• Read Psalm 34:8 and John 3:16 - Sweet salvation! Taste and see; add to the bowl.
• Crank up the mixer and let it go while you read from Isaiah 1:18 and John 3:1-3; let the mixer go for about 12-15 MINUTES; this needs to be VERY stiff!
• Read Matthew 27:57-60 - Fold the nuts into the egg-sugar mixture; this symbolizes the rocks in the garden.
• Using a scoop or knife & spoon, drop by spoon into mounds (to resemble a rocky tomb); put into the oven and turn it OFF!
• Read Matthew 27:65-66 - The tomb is sealed; use two pieces of tape (5-6 inches long) to "seal" the door edges (symbolically).
• Read John 16:20 & 22 - Consider these passages, then go to bed!
• NEXT MORNING: Read Matthew 28:1-9 - Jesus is risen! Behold--the empty tomb! Unseal the oven door, take out the cookies, break or bite one in half -- it should be hollow inside---empty---just like the Tomb!
• He is risen! He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!
