Cathedral Window No Bake Chocolate Cookies
These quick and easy no bake chocolate cookies showed up regularly on holiday cookie trays back when I was a kid.
I knew them as cathedral windows or stained glass cookies since that was what Mom called them.
Mom clipped the recipe for these easy chocolate no bake cookies from the back of a bag of multi-colored mini marshmallows decades ago and pulled it out for me recently so I could include it here.
The official recipe on the bag of marshmallows was called chocolate marshmallow logs, not nearly as descriptive as what we knew them as.
When the logs are sliced, the mulit-colored marshmallows take on the mosaic appearance of stained glass.
