Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Colorful Church Window Cookies.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients on a clean work surface, creating a cozy cooking space.
Step 2
In a 2 ½ quart glass or metal bowl, add the butter.
Step 3
Place this bowl over a saucepan filled with gently boiling water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
Step 4
This gentle heat will help the butter melt beautifully.
Step 5
Once the butter is completely melted, stir in the chocolate chips, mixing until everything is smooth and silky.
Step 6
Remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes, giving it a gentle stir now and then to keep the texture just right.
Step 7
Next, it’s time to add a touch of sweetness! Carefully fold in the miniature marshmallows, ensuring they’re well coated in the luscious chocolate mixture.
Step 8
Now, lay out two pieces of parchment paper, each measuring 15x18 inches, on your work surface.
Step 9
Divide the chocolate-marshmallow mixture in half and place each portion in the center of the parchment.
Step 10
Using a rubber spatula, shape each half into a log about 12 inches long, creating a delightful treat.
Step 11
Wrap each log tightly in the parchment paper and pop them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 12
While you wait, prepare two new pieces of parchment paper, again 15x18 inches each, and sprinkle each with 1 cup of flaked coconut.
Step 13
Once the logs are chilled, carefully transfer them onto the coconut-covered parchment.
Step 14
Roll each log in the coconut, pressing gently to ensure the flakes stick to the chocolate surface, adding a tropical twist to your creation.
Step 15
Wrap the coated logs tightly in the new parchment paper and chill them until they’re firm, which will take at least 4 hours or, for the best results, overnight.
Step 16
When you’re ready to enjoy, slice the chilled logs into 1/2-inch thick cookies, and serve these delightful treats to friends and family.
Step 17
They’ll be amazed at your delicious creation!.
