Ingredients

• 2 cups (crushed) Vanilla wafer cookies
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Pecans (finely chopped)
• 0.333 cup Whiskey
• 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (optional, for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Place the vanilla wafer cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, you can place them in a resealable bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into crumbs.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and finely chopped pecans. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 3

In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the whiskey and light corn syrup until combined.

Step 4

Pour the whiskey mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough. If necessary, use your hands to knead it for even mixing.

Step 5

Scoop out small portions of the mixture (approximately 1 tablespoon) and roll into balls using your hands.

Step 6

If desired, roll each whiskey ball in granulated sugar to coat for added sweetness and texture.

Step 7

Place the finished whiskey balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to help set the texture.

Step 8

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
