This recipe is an Amish Cook classic, first making its appearance in the newspaper column back in the mid-1990s. It’s easy, colorful, and sweet, three traits that are perfect in a last-minute Christmas confection. Here is the recipe:
Church Windows for Christmas
- 1 stick of oleo
- 12 oz. chocolate chips
- 5 oz. colored miniature marshmallows
- 1 c. nut meats
- 1 c. coconut (optional)
Melt oleo and chips until creamy. Fold in marshmallows.
Spread nut meats (and coconut, if you choose) on wax paper. Cover with marshmallow-chocolate mixture. Roll up like a jelly roll. Refrigerate until solid. Slice and serve.
My mom made these back in the 1950′s-1960′s. They were always very good.
My aunt used to make these when I ws growing up & she called them cathedral cookies!
These are really pretty…..has anyone on here made them and do they roll up well ?
They do roll up well..if you have all the ingredients ready to go…..We make these with white chocolate…..before you roll…don’t have the chocolate too hot…it could melt the waxed paper a bit..and don’t over lap the waxed paper….makes it a teeny bit tricky to un-roll. East enough to make..kids can help with these….
I have a good friend who gives us a plate of them every year for Christmas but I had never seen them before they were cut. Thanks for sharing the great picture.
