If you’re looking for a cookie that’s unlike all the others – in terms of both appearance and flavor – then you definitely need to try out these church window cookies. While they could also be referred to (lovingly) as Grandma’s Candy Bowl Cookies, just based on everything that’s in them, it’s easy to see why they’re called church window cookies; those adorable mini marshmallows give the desired effect of stained glass windows…(and they make the cookies surprisingly light and airy).
So, what else is in them, you ask? Using chocolate as the base and binder that holds things together, and mini marshmallows making up the dramatic look, flavor and texture of the recipe, we also added in walnuts and coconut to provide a little more of a crispy, crunchy element, along with vanilla extract and sea salt for a little more depth of flavor.
