Church Window Cookies
Church Window Cookies are an easy no-bake chocolate treat filled with colorful mini marshmallows, toasted walnuts, and a snowy coconut coating. Slice the chilled logs to reveal pretty stained-glass-style cookies that are perfect for the holidays.
Ingredients
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butter sliced
- 10 ounces pastel mini marshmallows
- 3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and sliced butter together until smooth, stirring gently until the mixture is just melted and glossy.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chocolate mixture cool slightly so it is still melted and easy to stir, but not hot enough to melt the marshmallows.
- Add the toasted chopped walnuts and pastel mini marshmallows to the cooled chocolate mixture and stir carefully until everything is coated, trying not to smash the marshmallows.
- Lay out three pieces of parchment paper and divide the chocolate-marshmallow mixture evenly among them.
- Use the parchment paper to help shape each portion into an 8- to 10-inch log, folding the paper around the mixture and gently pressing and rolling until fairly even.
- Roll each log carefully in the sweetened shredded coconut, covering the outside as well as you can.
- Wrap the parchment paper around the coconut-covered logs and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for easier slicing.
- When ready to serve, unwrap the logs and slice them into 1/2-inch to 1-inch pieces with a sharp knife, letting the log sit at room temperature for a few minutes first if the slices crack.
Notes
Keep Church Window Cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, placing wax paper between layers to prevent sticking. They also freeze well either as tightly wrapped logs or sliced cookies in a freezer-safe container with wax paper between layers; thaw in the refrigerator before serving. No reheating is needed, and the cookies are best kept chilled until ready to serve.
