Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 c dried and finely crumbed in processor homemade pound cake
2 1/2 to 3 c powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 to 1/3 c dark rum, bourbon or brandy
4 Tbsp cocoa, unsweetened
2 Tbsp butter, softened
2 Tbsp very finely chopped orange peel (optional)
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon extract
2 nice size pinches of nutmeg
sifted powdered sugar to coat
3 Tbsp lyles golden sryup

Steps:

  • 1. Place Cocoa, powder sugar, pound cake crumbs, butter, cinnamon extract, and spices in processor. Give them a good spin a couple of times so they are evenly distributed. Add the alcohol of your choice. Process till it forms a ball. Wrap and place in the refrigerator for a few minutes. I let the dogs out at this time and made a cup of tea.
  • 2. Cover a cookie sheet with waxpaper or parchment paper. Form the balls, just about walnut size. I used a small cookie scoop. Roll balls between your hands. Place on cookie tin between layers of waxpaper When finished place in refrigerator.
