Cookie Sukkah

Grocery List

  • 2 whole graham crackers
  • 1 container ready-made frosting (your favorite flavor)
  • An assortment of fruit candy (Runts, gummy cherries, skittles, etc.)
  • Sprigs of mint for decoration

Cooking Directions
1. Carefully break each graham cracker in half so that you have four graham cracker squares. Spread a circle of frosting on a plate.

2. Assembling the sukkah:

  • Your Sukkah won’t hold together unless you “glue” the sides with frosting. To do this, dip the edges of three graham cracker squares into frosting so that each edge of each graham cracker is frosted.
  • Stand the graham cracker squares up in the circle of frosting so that they form three walls of a box. The walls should touch and "glue" together. These are the walls of your sukkah.
  • Now cover the 4th graham cracker with frosting. This will be the roof of your sukkah.

3. Put the roof, frosting side up, carefully onto the walls of the sukkah. Decorate the sukkah roof with fruit candy.

4. Use the mint for palm fronds. Now you have an edible sukkah!
