Sherry Balls
I love to throw these together in abundance for the holidays. My mom and myself have always loved to give tins of homemade cookies as Christmas presents to coworkers and friends. Sherry Balls are always, and I mean always able to be found around our house this time of year.
They throw together super quickly, there’s no baking needed, and the longer they sit in their airtight tin inbetween layers of powdered sugar, the flavors have more time to blend, and they become even more delicious! That is, if they last long enough!
Sherry Balls
2 1/2 c Nilla wafer crumbs
1 c sifted powdered sugar, plus extra for storage
2 T cocoa
1/4 c cream sherry
1 c finely chopped nuts (I usually use pecans or almonds, but you can substitute more wafer crumbs if you want to go nut-free)
3 T corn syrup
Combine all ingredients; mix well. Shape into round balls 1″ in diameter. Roll in powdered sugar. Store in can or jar in between layers of powdered sugar. Flavor improves with age.
