"Had an extra box of vanilla wafers and wanted to make something other than rum balls for the holidays. This is a wonderful variation on traditional rum or bourbon balls."

ingredients

3 ¹⁄₄ cups finely crushed vanilla wafers
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tablespoons light corn syrup
¹⁄₂ teaspoon orange extract
¹⁄₂ cup Grand Marnier or 1/2 cup other orange liqueur
¹⁄₃ cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

directions

In very large bowl, combine wafer crumbs, cocoa, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly.
Add corn syrup, orange extract, and Grand Marnier and stir until large ball forms. If too crumbly add small amounts of corn syrup or liqueur until mixture sticks together well.
Roll in your hands to form into 1 inch balls (I used a small cookie scoop and then rolled into balls).
Roll balls in granulated sugar and place on wax-paper lined tray.
Store in airtight container for a few days to build flavor. Place wax paper between layers of cookie balls to prevent sticking together.
If desired, can roll in powdered sugar or cocoa instead of granulated sugar. If sugar disappears while balls are being stored, roll again in sugar before serving.
