Resurrection Rolls

This recipe just came from my cousin, Eilleen. I am looking forward to trying it in preparation for Easter. I plan to use my Cool Rise Roll Dough, I'm sure it will work. If you want a fun Easter Story Cookie Recipe see pg. 162 in the Atkinson Family Cookbook.

HAPPY EASTER!
I received this recipe and the scripture activity that I have included and thought some of you might want to use it or pass it on. What a wonderful way to remember and celebrate Jesus Christ.
May you all have a blessed Easter and year.
Love,
Eilleen Whiteley Waddell


Resurrection Rolls
Yield 8 rolls

* 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls (or Rhodes
dinner rolls dough, thawed)OR Cool Rise Roll Dough
* 8 large marshmallows
* 1/4 cup melted butter
* 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
* 2 tablespoons white sugar

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F Lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. Separate crescent rolls into individual triangles.
3. In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar.
4. Dip a marshmallow into melted butter, then roll in sugar
mixture. Place marshmallow into the center of a dough triangle.
Carefully wrap the dough around the marshmallow. Pinch the seams
together tightly to seal in marshmallow as it melts. Place on a baking
sheet. Repeat. (If using Rhodes rolls, allow to rise. If you would
like, make these the night before and "seal" them in the oven
overnight to rise.)
5. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Talk about how the marshmallow represents Christ's body. The butter
and cinnamon sugar can represent the oils and dressings that the body
was prepared with. Have the children wrap the marshmallows, but make
sure that you check that all of the seams are sealed, use a little
water for spots that aren't sticking well. Place them on a cookie
sheet and after you put them in the oven and shut the door, place a
piece of tape over the door to represent how the tomb was "sealed".
When the rolls come out of the oven they will be hollow inside, just
as the tomb where Christ was laid was found empty. Have a blessed
Easter.
