Every year on Holy Saturday we make these" empty tomb" cookies. The kids get to act out the Easter story by beating the pecans; tasting salt, sugar, and vinegar; and then sealing the cookies in the tomb of the oven for the night. And when they open the oven in the morning, they find their cookies cooked and with a hollow spot symbolizing Jesus' empty tomb. They love making these and they aren't half bad to eat! Last year our cookies were still sticky and had no hollow part. This year they were a little flat, but the were cooked through and had a (small) hollow spot! (Hard to see in the picture.) Maybe next years will be perfect...
