Categories     Candy

Time 25m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 ounces chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
1 cup ground walnuts
7 ounces shredded coconut
10 1/2 ounces colored miniature marshmallows

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate chips and butter. Cool them to touch (don't want to melt the marshmallows).
  • Add the nuts and marshmallows. Mix well.
  • Divide mixture into to 2 large log rolls. Roll each roll in the coconut.
  • Wrap in waxed paper and chill for 24 hours.
  • Slice into 1/3 inch cookies.
  • Recipe makes about 3 dozen.

Tips:

  • To make the caramel, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir constantly to prevent burning.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, it is ready.
  • When adding the caramel to the egg whites, do so gradually and in a thin stream, while whisking constantly. This will prevent the egg whites from curdling.
  • Be patient when baking the cookies. They may take a little longer to bake than you think, but it is important to let them cool completely before frosting them.
  • For the frosting, be sure to use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting onto the cookies.

Conclusion:

Church Windows II cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their colorful stained glass windows and creamy frosting, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
