Ingredients
- 6 ounce Chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
- 2 1/2 c. Vanilla wafers, crushed fine (a box less some nibbles)
- 1 c. Pecans (finely minced, start with 8-10 ounce whole pecans)
- 1/2 c. Sugar (white, granulated)
- 1/4 c. Corn syrup
- 1/3 c. Cognac (Use the best you can afford, it makes a difference!)
Directions
- Heat chocolate bits. If you have never worked with melted chocolate before, then use a double boiler with the burner set on low.
- Crush vanilla wafers very fine (fineness is important). Chop pecans (again fineness is everything). Add in sugar, corn syrup and cognac (I use 1 nip of cognac and 1/2 nip of rum, works fine and costs less). Stir in pecans and wafer crumbs. Now you learn why you were supposed to grind them very finely.
- By now the mix should be a smooth paste. Remove from heat and form into about 1-inch balls. Roll balls in extra granulated sugar.
- NOTES:* A rich chocolate no-bake cookie - A terrific, very rich, no-bake cookie.
- Yield: makes 3-4 dozen.
- * Store these in an air-tight container; if you are a chocoholic, have someone hide them from you. They are best if you allow them to age and mellow.
- Difficulty: Moderate to hard (melted chocolate is tricky, and rolling the mix into balls takes practice).
- Time: 30-60 min or possibly more, depending on how deftly you can roll the balls.
- Precision: approximate measurement OK.
- Cheers
