Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 cup vanilla wafer cookies
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar (divided)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (see note below on how to make non-alcoholic)
  • 2 tbsp light corn syrup

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the pecans on top of a baking sheet. Toast the nuts for 8-10 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  • Transfer the nuts to a heat-safe bowl and allow them to completely cool.
  • While you wait, use a blender or food processor to grind up the cookies. Once cool, chop up the pecans.
  • In a large bowl, combine the wafer cookies, pecans, 1 cup of powdered sugar, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly.
  • Add the bourbon and corn syrup. Mix until the dry and wet ingredients are fully combined.
  • Use a tablespoon measurement to form the balls, then roll them in the remaining ½ cup of powdered sugar.
  • Chill for 1 hour and serve!
