Recipe: Cathedral Cookies
10:34 AM
Cathedral Cookies
This is another very simple recipe. When I made these I did not add the pecans or walnuts as all my other treats were either peanut butter or had nuts so I needed something nut free. I also rolled only half in the coconut for the people who do not like coconut. I will also note, because I was baking many things on the same day, the dough got left in the fridge for about 45 minutes instead of the 30 minutes and it was very hard to work with, so I recommend that you make sure you get to it in the 30 minutes.
The picture seen above is an actual picture I took of my completed cookies, it is not taken from the internet or played with in anyway.
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp butter
1 egg, beaten
3 cups pastel mini marshmallows
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts
1 cup flaked coconut
1. In a heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stir occasionally. Stir a small amount into egg, and then return all to pan. Cook and stir over low heat for 2 minutes. Pour into bowl; let cool for 15 minutes. Gently stir in marshmallows and nuts. Chill for 30 minutes.
2. On a sheet of waxed paper, shape dough into a 1 1/2 inch diameter log. Place coconut on another sheet of waxed paper. Gently roll log over coconut to coat sides. Wrap up tightly, twisting ends to seal.
3. Freeze for 4 hours or overnight. Remove waxed paper. Cut into 1/4 inch slices. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator.
