Kwanzaa
COOKIES
|
 |
Kwanzaa, the quintessential African-American holiday, always should be celebrated in grand style; and with the help of some primo homemade cookies that are tasty and meaningful in equal measure.
Homemade cookies for a Kwanzaa celebration should reflect the symbols and deep significance of the holiday itself; a weeklong wintertime celebration of family, community and culture in the African-American community. The host could bake decorative cookies of any color or flavor, that take the shape of popular Kwanzaa symbols such as the kinara candle holder and the unity cup. It would be fairly simple to make a round cookie in the shape of a classic unity cup; a delicacy that could be coated in classically colored icing flourishes of gold, silver, or bronze. A kinara could be made with the help of any cookie cutter shaped like a candle holder; just make sure to ice each cookie so that it appears to include three red candles, three green candles, and one black candle at the center, as per Kwanzaa tradition.
Aside from some sumptuous and significant homemade cookies, no Kwanzaa celebration would be complete without some vivid, vibrant Coloring Pages. Much like the cookies, these detailed Coloring Pages also could feature images of the kinara and the unity cup. Again, just be certain that the unity cup is colored in a bright but respectful hue, and that the kinara is colored to reflect the presence of one black candle at the center, surrounded on either side by three red candles and three green candles.
