Cookie Recipe #21

More cookie magic.
Chocolate-Kahlua Truffle Cookies

2 1/2 c finely crushed chocolate wafers, about 45 wafers
1 c finely chopped walnuts, pecans, pine nuts, almonds, or hazelnuts
1 c sifted powdered sugar
1/3 c kahlua or other coffee liqueur
2 T water
5 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 T vegetable shortening
6 oz white baking bar, chopped

In a large mixing bowl stir together the chocolate wafer crumbs, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, & kahlua or other liqueur. Add enough of the water so crumbs hold together. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. In a small, heavy saucepan heat semisweet chocolate & shortening over low heat till melted. In another small, heavy saucepan heat white baking bar till melted. With a fork, dip half of the cookies into the semisweet chocolate mixture to coat; place on cookie sheet. Dip remaining cookies in melted white baking bar to coat; place on cookie sheet. With the tip of a spoon, thinly drizzle white baking bar mixture in a zigzag pattern over cookies coated with semisweet chocolate. Repeat with semisweet chocolate, drizzling over cookies coated with white baking bar mixture. Refrigerate for about 30 mins, or till chocolate is firm. Store in refrigerator.


Holy Toledo! Those sound rich, any of you try 'em let me know!

On to your updates, enjoy.
