Every Christmas, my family makes Brandy Balls. Ok, this year, it was more like after Christmas before they got made – but it was Christmas time, and there were Brandy Balls.

And they’re a great Christmas Cookie! They’re chocolatey, they’re sweet, and they have liquor. They’re even really easy to make. What’s not to like?

Brandy Balls Print Recipe Brandy, Vanilla Wafers, and Chocolate in easy little round cookies. Yummy! CourseDessert Servings Prep Time 24 cookies 15 minutes Servings Prep Time 24 cookies 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 box Vanilla Wafers crushed
• 3 Tbsp Cocoa
• 1 1/2 Cup Walnuts finely chopped
• 4 1/2 Tbsp Corn Syrup
• 1/2 Cup Brandy
• 1 Cup Confectioners Sugar (also extra for rolling / storage)

Servings: cookies

Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients - crush the vanilla wafers, and chop up your walnuts.
2. Combine all your ingredients - vanilla wafers, cocoa, walnuts, corn syrup, brandy, and confectioners sugar - and mix well. I suggest using a blender. It makes it so much faster! The mixture should form a sticky dough.
3. Divide the dough into small balls (1-2 inches in diameter), and roll them in powdered / confectioners' sugar. Chill, and store with more confectioners' sugar - it keeps them from sticking together.
4. Enjoy! 🙂
