fireunSome of my best holiday memories are of making these with my Nana and my Marmy. They are very sweet, but probably the coolest 'cookies' ever.
Cathedral Windows
recipe from Nana Olmstead
1 bag of chocolate chips
1/4 cup margarine
2 eggs
1 bag colored mini marshmallows
1 bag powdered/confectioners sugar
Tinfoil
Over low heat, melt chocolate chips and margarine until smooth. Remove from heat. Beat eggs until well beaten and add to chocolate mixture. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Add mini marshmallows, stir until well coated.
Tear 3 sheets of tinfoil, about 1 1/2 feet each. Sprinkle with a lot of powdered sugar, about 2 cups for each sheet. (Most of this doesnt make it into the actual cookies. It is more to keep the chocolate from sticking to the tinfoil than anything else. All extra gets shaken off when you pull the roll before you cut individual cookies)
Divide chocolate mixture evenly between three sheets.
Roll in sugar until a firm roll is formed. If the chocolate does not firm up easily for you, you can roll the tinfoil sheet tightly around the chocolate and form a roll that way, but make sure the powdered sugar still coats the chocolate thoroughly.
Refrigerate overnight.
Remove from foil and slice. The slices can be as thick or thin as you desire. This is a sweet treat, so thinner is better unless you have a real sweet tooth.
The colored marshmallows framed by the chocolate are what give the finished product the stained glass cathedral window look. They are very fun to make with friends or kids, and it is a recipe that is sure to be new to almost everyone.
