Divine Nature Treats

Last night the girls had a young women's activity with the theme of the value divine nature. They had to bring a dessert that represented a divine quality. Madison chose fortune cookies for infinite wisdom. As with the fortune cookie, there is wisdom in each of us if only we will "crack into it!" We have been given the ability to develop our minds, bodies, and spirits. When we seek wisdom we are becoming more like our Heavenly Father.


We dipped the fortune cookies in milk and white chocolate to sweeten the deal!

Gabrielle chose peanut blossoms. She interpreted this into motherhood. We have been given the ability to create life. As women we have not only the physical qualities to do this, but the emotional qualities it takes to nurture and care for children. So the blossom in this cookie is a heart-- a mother's heart. We can develop love to share and care for our children.




These cookies are a spin off of the regular peanut blossom, only a Hershey's Bliss heart shaped milk chocolate candy in the center. This brand specifically has the type of chocolate that is designed to melt in the mouth, so when you put it on the warm cookie, it softens and shines! It keeps it's shape, but is soft and melty in the mouth. Yum!

To make these cookies we just used a Betty Crocker peanut butter cookie mix, following the package directions. Roll the cookie dough into balls and then roll the balls in fine sugar. Bake 10 minutes at 375° and immediately press a chocolate into the center of each cookie. cool 1 minute one the tray and then cool completely on a rack.
