A delightful and meaningful recipe to celebrate Easter with a sweet treat.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Preheating ensures the oven is at the right temperature for the cookies to set properly.
Place the pecans in a zip lock bag, seal it, and let the children gently crush them with a wooden spoon into smaller pieces.
Crushing the pecans evenly will ensure they mix well into the meringue.
In a mixing bowl, combine the vinegar and egg whites.
Ensure the bowl is clean and free of grease for the egg whites to whip properly.
Add the salt and sugar to the mixture, and beat on high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Stiff peaks are achieved when the mixture holds its shape and doesn't collapse.
Gently fold in the crushed pecans.
Use a spatula to fold in the pecans gently to avoid deflating the meringue.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
Space the cookies evenly to allow for proper setting.
Place the baking sheet in the oven, turn it off, and seal the oven door with tape. Leave the cookies in the oven overnight.
Sealing the oven door helps maintain the temperature for the cookies to set.
The next morning, open the oven and enjoy your hollow Resurrection Cookies.
The hollow center symbolizes the empty tomb, making these cookies a meaningful Easter treat.
