MOCHA BALLS image

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
3 T light corn syrup
2 T unsweetened cocoa
1 cup powdered sugar plus additional for serving
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua), or as needed

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the wafer crumbs, corn syrup, cocoa and 1 cup of sugar. Mix it together thoroughly with a beater or in a food processor. Blend in the pecans and the liqueur and mix together to form a stiff dough. Add coffee liqueur as needed to achieve desired consistency. Be careful not to add too much liqueur, as the balls will become sticky. Separate small portions of the dough and shape into bite-sized balls. Roll balls in powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container for giving as gifts. Dust balls with powdered sugar before serving. Variations: Sub vanilla wafers for chocolate, rum or bourbon for coffee liqueur, or almonds or walnuts for the pecans.
