Categories     Candies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 stick butter or margarine
12 oz chocolate chips (2 cups)
1 c finely chopped walnuts
1 pkg pastel colored marshmallows

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter and chocolate chips.
  • 2. Stir in walnuts. Let cool slightly.
  • 3. Stir in marshmallows (Kraft has "fun" marshmallows or Market Basket brand can be used)
  • 4. Lay out 2 pieces of wax paper and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Divide mixture evenly on each piece of wax paper forming a log.
  • 5. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Wrap wax paper around each and twist ends. Refrigerate until set and slice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your cookies will taste. Look for fresh, ripe fruit and vegetables, and use high-quality chocolate and butter.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing. If you're new to baking, it's best to stick to the recipe as written.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of the oven will affect the texture of the cookies. Bake the cookies at the temperature specified in the recipe.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: If you frost the cookies while they're still warm, the frosting will melt and run off.

Conclusion:

With a little time and effort, you can make delicious stained glass cookies that are perfect for any occasion. These cookies are sure to impress your friends and family, and they're a fun and easy way to add a touch of elegance to your dessert table.
