Bourbon Ball Cookies

4 oz Vanilla wafers; 30=4oz

2 c Confectioners sugar

2 tb Cocoa powder

1 c Nuts; finely chopped

3 tb Karo light syrup

6 tb Bourbon or dark rum*

Roll or food process wafers until they are fine. Add and mix sugar, cocoa and nuts. Add Karo and the Whiskey or Rum (*I prefer Meyers Dark Rum). Form into balls (they will be STICKY!), roll in powdered sugar. Do NOT bake. Can be put in glass covered container and kept in refrigerator. TIP: I store these and Little Fruitcakes in Tupperware Pie Keeper, with layer of waxed paper on bottom. The booze will get in plastic but will air out well! Refrigeration will keep these nice for a good month. Better if "aged" a bit before eating! -----
