As a kid, the most bright cookies my mom made at Christmastime had been lemon biscotti, so I needed to glean my “real” Christmas cookie fix at my buddy’s home. Her mom went all out with their cookie tray—there had been gingerbread males, frosted sugar cookies of all shapes and sizes, candy cane swirls, mint brownies, and my favourite of all, the stained glass home windows.
No longer to be at a loss for words with the diversified form of stained glass cookie (fabricated from sugar cookie dough with melted candy “panes”), these concoctions are all about marshmallows and chocolate, and no longer great else (no surprise my kid-self used to be enamored with them).
These classic off-the-equipment cookies are also called chocolate marshmallow logs, church home windows, and cathedral home windows. The well-known preparation remains the same: colored mini marshmallows are lined in melted butter, chocolate, and vanilla, rolled into a log, and in the slay refrigerated until discipline.

Notes
Historically these are made with multi-colored mini marshmallows, which is able to be sophisticated to search out in New York. (I attempted at the least four grocery stores and three drug stores and came up empty-handed.) It’s possible you’ll perchance also continuously teach them online. If time is of the essence, use standard mini marshmallows, or change, as I did, 2/3 of a net of extensive crimson and green Christmas marshmallows (gash down to mini marshmallow size) and 1/3 of a net of standard mini marshmallows.
