Kiss cookies. Great for a treat any time, but during Holy Week these cookies have meaning, they are a great way to teach about the betrayal of Jesus Christ and his choice to love despite all he was put through.

Though Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss, we can use “kisses” to show love instead.

Make these cookies and deliver them to a friend or neighbor. If you don’t have the time to make cookies, just buy some kisses and leave them on someone’s doorstep. You can keep it anonymous or leave a kind note.
