Rum Balls

submitted by rcoen

2 Tablespoons cocoa
Confectioner's sugar
2 1/2 Cups finely crushed vanilla wafers (most of a 12-oz box), easily
crushed in a food processor
or blender
1 Cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
3 Tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 Cup rum or bourbon

Into a large bowl, sift the cocoa and 1 Cup of confectioner's sugar. Mix
in remaining ingredients. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls with your
hands. Sprinkle about 1 Cup confectioner's sugar on a plate and roll the
balls in it to coat. Store in a tin for at least 1 week before giving them
away. These cookies will mellow with age and will keep up to 1 month.
They can also be wrapped in plastic wrap or foil, but this is very time
consuming. Makes about 36.
