Seasonal Themes: Ideas for Easter
Easter is fast approaching and the perennial backyard Easter Egg hunt is looming large. After the frenzied hunt is over, what’s left? Enough egg salad sandwiches for a month of Sundays; millions of plastic eggs tossed into landfills and kids with sticky hands and a sugar rush from the candy eggs they scooped up from their hiding places in the garden.
There is another option: Brightly-colored, homemade fortune cookies filled with trinkets, candy, coins or personalized messages from the Easter Bunny can replace traditional eggs in the backyard egg hunt. Imagine palm-sized fortune cookie Easter Eggs that spill treats like a piñata when broken open. Now that's multi-culturalism!
Fat-Free or Traditional Fortune Cookie Recipe Variation:
Achieve pastel colors by simply adding small amounts of food coloring to the fortune cookie batter. Cut back a little on the water called for in the recipe if a good amount of food coloring is added. (Use the liquid food coloring, not the paste.) For a complementary copy of our free basic cookie recipe, please visit the Ultimate Gourmet Fortune Cookie Website and click on "Free Recipe" located on the navigation menu.
Cookie Stuffers:
Individualized Fortunes: "The Easter Bunny Loves Katie"
Scriptural Fortunes: "He is Risen."
Edibles: Five or Six Miniature Jelly Beans, Small Wrapped Chocolates
Other Stuffers: Coins, small toys, flavored lip balm, stickers, etc.
Dipping and Decorating:
Use candy melts for appropriate Easter colors and follow the "Dipping Instructions" in the Ultimate Gourmet Fortune Cookie Cookbook. Decorate with sprinkles or other seasonal candies.
Packaging:
Fortune cookies do need to be wrapped well to stay fresh. For your "Easter Egg" cookies, cut the "zipper" off of sandwich bags. Insert the cookie (nestled on a bed of bright green excelsior, if you wish) and tie the bag with raffia. Beautiful!
Make cookies in a variety of sizes and colors. Hide some in the garden and fill an Easter Basket with others.
