I received this recipe from a dear friend at work. My Granddaughters loved making the cookies as much as eating them them on Easter morning. This was also made by several of my friends after viewing Mel Gibsons film "The Passion of the Christ". I have given this recipe to all of my friends at church. Great for children 1 to 100.
