Description

Church Window Cookies are a colorful, no-bake treat featuring a luscious blend of melted semisweet chocolate and butter, studded with pastel miniature marshmallows and toasted walnuts, then rolled in flaked coconut. These charming, festive cookies are chilled into logs and sliced into crescent-shaped bites, perfect for holiday gatherings or any joyful occasion.

Ingredients

Chocolate Mixture

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed

Mix-ins

  • 1 package (10 ounces) pastel miniature marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Coating

  • 2 cups flaked coconut

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a large saucepan over low heat, gently melt the semisweet chocolate chips and cubed butter together, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly to prevent melting the marshmallows in the next step.
  2. Combine Mix-ins: Stir in the pastel miniature marshmallows and the toasted chopped walnuts thoroughly, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
  3. Shape Rolls: Divide the mixture into three equal portions. Place each portion on a separate piece of waxed paper. Using the waxed paper to help, shape each portion into a 10-inch long roll. Then, roll each log in the flaked coconut, pressing gently to ensure the coconut adheres well to the surface.
  4. Chill: Wrap each coconut-coated roll tightly in the waxed paper to maintain shape and prevent drying out. Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to slice.
  5. Slice and Serve: Once chilled and firm, unwrap the rolls and slice them crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the cookies on a serving plate and enjoy the delightful combination of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Make sure to toast the walnuts lightly to enhance their flavor before mixing.
  • Using waxed paper to shape and wrap the rolls helps maintain their form and ease slicing.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts or replace with additional marshmallows or dried fruit.
  • This recipe does not require baking, making it quick and easy to prepare.
