Yield: Makes about 3 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 to 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup coconut
- 1 cup walnuts
Instructions:
-
Melt and Mix: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the margarine and chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth and well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Once cooled, add the mini marshmallows and walnuts, mixing until evenly distributed.
-
Prepare Coconut Coating: Spread a generous amount of coconut on a piece of waxed paper, creating a bed for rolling the cookie dough logs.
-
Shape the Dough: Divide the chocolate mixture into three equal portions. With your hands, shape each portion into a log approximately 2 inches in diameter.
-
Coat with Coconut: Roll each chocolate log in the coconut until evenly coated, pressing gently to adhere the coconut to the surface.
-
Wrap and Chill: Individually wrap each coconut-coated log in waxed paper, ensuring they are securely sealed. Place the wrapped logs in the refrigerator and chill overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the cookies to firm up. Alternatively, you can store the wrapped logs in a ziplock bag and freeze for future use.
-
Slice and Serve: When ready to enjoy, remove the chilled logs from the refrigerator or freezer. Using a sharp knife, slice the logs into rounds approximately 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the sliced cookies on a serving platter and savor the delectable combination of chocolate, nuts, and coconut.
