Black and White Creation Cookies

In this week’s Parsha, G-d created the world in six days. On the first day G-d created light and darkness so for the food of the week we made black and white creation cookies with the white side of the cookie resembling the light and the black part of the cooking resembling the darkness.

Shabbat Shalom and B’tayavon!
