Pumpkin Bourbon Balls
- 20 whole Nilla Wafers Plus More For Coating If Desired
- 1/2 cups Finely Diced Pecans Plus More For Coating If Desired
- 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 1 pinch Nutmeg
- 2 Tablespoons Bourbon Or Whiskey
- 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Puree
- In the bowl of a food processor (or a plastic zip-top bag), pulverize the Nilla Wafers. You should end up with about 1/2 cup of cookie crumbs. Set aside.
- Next, finely chop the pecans in the food processor (if you haven't already). The pieces need to be very small, but be careful not to over-mix and make crumbs or a paste. You want finely diced, not crumbs.
- Combine the cookie crumbs, pecans, powdered sugar and spices in a small bowl.
- In a small cup, stir together the whiskey with the pumpkin. Pour this mixture over the crumb mixture and stir very well to combine.
- Use a tablespoon to make evenly sized balls and roll them between your hands. You can coat the balls in more cookie crumbs or chopped pecans, if you wish.
- Chill 1 hour before serving. I like to serve these cold, but some prefer them at room temperature.
