Based on my friend Meredith's recipe.

Makes about 36 pieces.

Notes

A food processor makes crushing cookies and finely chopping nuts a breeze.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons cocoa
  • 1 cup powder sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 4 Tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons of rum or bourbon
  • Additional powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Sift the cocoa and 1 cup of confectioner's sugar into a large bowl.
  2. Mix in crushed wafers, chopped nuts, .
  3. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls with your hands. If too crumbly, add slightly more corn syrup and rum.
  4. Sprinkle 1 cup confectioner's sugar onto a plate and roll balls in it to coat.
  5. Store in a tin for at least 1 week. Cookies will mellow with age and will keep up to 1 month.
