Church window cookies are a delicious mix of colorful mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, chocolate, and a sprinkle of walnuts. They're the perfect no bake christmas cookie.
In a large saucepan, add the 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup butter. Place over low heat and heat the chocolate chips and butter just until melted and smooth while stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly until it still appears melted but no longer hot enough to melt the marshmallows.
Add the 3/4 cup chopped walnuts and 10 ounces pastel mini marshmallows to the cooled chocolate mixture and stir to evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture evenly between 3 pieces of parchment paper.
Using the parchment paper, shape the chocolate mixture into an 8-10 inch log.
Remove the parchment paper and gently roll them in the 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut.
Wrap the parchment paper back around the logs and place in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Once the logs are set up, slice into ½-1 inch slices.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 to 7 days.
