Bourbon Ball Recipe"Chocolate Gingersnaps and Bourbon for a kick!"
This bourbon ball recipe packs a punch! When I'm shaping the cookies
I can feel the coolness of the alcohol on my hands. This is a standby in my Italian cookie recipes. We've used it forever on our holiday cookie trays. There are oodles of substitutions ideas (see below). Feel free to experiment, but stick with the ratios- so that these hold together well. If this wasn't exactly what you were looking for - and you are hunting for an Italian Holiday Cookie Platter. Here's what I make. These are the same Italian Dessert Recipes passed down to me from my grandma and great-grandma: (Thanks for stopping by!)- Lisa Our Italian Holiday Cookie Platter: Sesame Seed Cookies Anisette Cookies Almond Thumbprint Cookies Date Bars Bourbon Ball RecipeThese pack a serious punch! Ingredients * 1 cup gingersnaps (see substitution ideas below) * 1 cup chopped walnuts * 1 cup confectioners sugar * 3 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder * 1/4 cup bourbon * 1 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup * 1/3 cup cocoa and confectioners sugar Procedure * Combine gingersnap crumbs, finely chopped walnuts, sugar and cocoa. * Blend the bourbon and the corn syrup together. * Add the gingersnap crumb mixture and mix well. * Shape into 1 inch balls and roll in confectioners sugar and cocoa mixture. * Put these in airtight container like a Tupperware and refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving. Can I substitute the ground walnuts? Italian dessert recipes don't usually use pecans. However, that bein said - you could use them though. The cooking police wouldn't write a violation.
Can I substitute the bourbon?Uh, probably. But this is a BOURBON BALL RECIPE
Looking for an alternative for the gingersnaps? There tons of alternatives. BUT you may need to add a bit of spices to get the bourbon
to flavor. I've noted those to the right of the suggestions:

Memorial Day and Warmer Weather Treats!It's finally warming up! In my neck of the woods we had SNOW on May 2nd. Now were on to the warm weather sweet treats! I started celebrating by having a Sangria last night. Sangria is so easy to make - and the trick to making it spectacular is - following the super easy procedure. IF you need a brush up see: How to Make Sangria As for Memorial Day Goodies - I bake the LESS sticky stuff if I have to travel. And something that the kids can grab with their fingers as they cruise by the dessert table and run off to their next game. Cookies and brownies work the best for this! The past month, these are my top five most viewed cookie recipes: #1 Anisette Cookies #2 Italian Wedding Cookie Recipe #3 Pizzelle Recipe #4 Ricotta Cheese Cookies #5 Meringue Cookie Recipe Have a fun filled Memorial Day!
