PECAN PIE BALLS
Oh these were a hit in the Test Kitchen! These are just like bite-sized pecan pies. Since they are small, you won't feel guilty when you take two or three. If you can stop there...

Steps:
- 1. Combine first four ingredients in large bowl.
- 2. Add maple syrup, bourbon, and vanilla.

- 5. Roll in hands to form balls.
- 6. Place balls on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place cookie sheet in the freezer for 2 hrs. Tip: After all balls are made, roll balls again with slightly water damped hands. This will make balls smooth before dipping in chocolate.

- 8. Dip frozen balls into chocolate.
- 9. Then place on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- 10. Optional: Sprinkle a few grains of coarse sea salt on balls before the chocolate sets.

GRANDMA'S PECAN BALLS (FROM AUNT KATIE)
I always thought the origin of these cookies was Germany, and my paternal Grandmother set me straight when I asked for the recipe today - it came from Aunt Katie (who isn't really my Aunt, she's my godmother). In any case, here are my most favourite cookies that Grandma makes - I'll have to post the rest of the authentic German recipes she gave me years ago as well... she's been making these since I was kneehigh to a grasshopper!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream butter with sugar.
- Add flour and pecans, mix well.
- Roll into balls, about the size of a large gumball, and place on a cookie sheet (I prefer to line mine with parchment, but I'm sure cooking spray would do.).
- Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until very lightly browned.
- While still warm, roll in superfine sugar - this is important because the dough does not have much sugar.
