Christmas Cookies: Liquor Balls

This has always been another one of those family favorites. I am not a big fan of the liquor I use (Wild Turkey 101) so I don't eat many of them, but everyone else does! This year I made two different batches, one using the Wild turkey 101 and the other using Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay Coconut Rum.

LIQUOR BALLS

½ lb. vanilla wafers
1 C. chopped walnuts or pecans
½ C. seedless raisins chopped
½ C. chopped dates
1 T. cocoa
¼ C. bourbon or rum
½ C. light corn syrup
Powdered sugar

Combine all ingredients (except powdered sugar). Roll into walnut size balls. Roll in powdered sugar. Store in tightly covered container. Makes 36.

WARNING!!

Since these do not get cooked or baked, the alcohol will stay in them, so don't eat and drive!!

These sound really interesting Michelle. My son has been trying to find a rum cookie recipe to try out some coconut rum in. Maybe he'll like the sound of this one. Thanks for sharing.
