Church Window and Mint M&M Cookies

Well, not having a home allowed me to bake some different holiday cookies this year with a friend instead of baking my usual family tradition Christmas cookies.

Church Window Cookies

I can't remember the last time I had one of these, probably when I was a kid.  I've never made them before, but it was pretty easy and they were so tasty.

1/2 c. butter melted with 16oz of chocolate chips until smooth and creamy.  Add a tsp of vanilla if you like, stir.  Let cool.  Once cool enough, stir in 16oz of multicolored mini marshmallows.  On wax paper, sprinkle a cup or so of flaked coconut and add half the mixture.  Using the paper, mold to create a log and wrap the log up and stick in the refrigerator to harden.    Repeat with the last half.  Once set, cut into slices and enjoy.

Mint M&Ms Chocolate Chips

 

This recipe is much like a recipe for chocolate chips only you use mint M&Ms.
