- Once the chocolate mixture has cooled a bit, pour it over the marshmallows and walnuts and stir until everything is evenly coated.

- Pour half of the chocolate marshmallow mixture in a line on top of the coconut, roughly shaping it into a log shape. Repeat for the other log.
- Sprinkle the remaining coconut over the chocolate and marshmallows.
- Roll up into two tight logs, twisting the ends to secure them so they don't unroll. Transfer the logs to the fridge and let the mixture chill for 2-3 hours until firm and set up.

Notes
Storage
- Store: These cookies can last up to a week at room temperature when stored in an airtight container. If you are making the cookies in a warmer climate or during warmer months, then they will be okay at room temperature for a while, but you should keep them stored in the refrigerator to retain their shape.
- Freeze: Church window cookies freeze well. Just store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To prevent them from sticking together, you may want to put a piece of parchment paper in between each of them.
