Directions
Melt 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 sugar, corn syrup and cognac (I use 1 nip of cognac and ½ nip of rum, works fine and costs less).
Stir in pecans and wafer crumbs.
By now the mixture should be a smooth paste.
Remove from heat and form into about 1-inch balls.
Make 3 to 4 dozens cookies.
Roll balls in extra granulated sugar.
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.
Comments
I already have the vanilla wafers crushed, not whole to crush. How much would I use in that case? 2 cups?
I think it depends on how finely your wafer is crushed, if very finely crushed, 2 cups would be good, if not very finely crushed, but still finely, 2 1/4 cups would be good. Hope this helps! Enjoy!
