Gather the kids to decorate graham crackers for an easy Hanukkah cookie recipe kids will love to make.

One of my kids favorite holidays is Hanukkah.  My husband was raised Jewish and even though we aren’t raising our children in the Jewish faith, it’s important to me that they participate in the holidays their father celebrated when he was a child. But fitting Hanukkah in to the Christmas rush can be a bit overwhelming for me. So I’m always looking for fun and easy ways to celebrate the eight days.  These fun Hanukkah “cookies” are a great way to teach kids about the different symbols of Hanukkah.

The ingredients for these “cookies” are super simple – graham crackers and Wilton Sparkle Gel.  Grab a box of both regular grahams and the chocolate ones.  We cut the crackers with a bread knife to make the long narrow ones, but I’ve seen graham “sticks” at the store and that would be even easier.
