Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Use a food processor to finely crush the cookies.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients except additional coconut and rind. Chill at least one hour. The mixture should be fairly firm but sticky.
  3. Combine dredging ingredients in a shallow plate such as a pie plate.
  4. Shape ball batter into 1 inch balls. The easiest way to do this is with a small 2 teaspoon scooper. Roll in additional coconut mixed with rind. Store tightly covered in refrigerator.
  5. The flavor of these candies improves after several days. I usually give it at least one week. They can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for several weeks.
  6. Variations:.
  7. If you want to omit the alcohol you should only use 2 packages of ginger snaps. The balls should sit for 24 hours to let flavors combine.
  8. You can use all almonds or all walnuts.
  9. Omit the dates and use 2 cups raisins if you prefer.
  10. Dredge the balls in additional crushed ginger snaps mixed with confectioners sugar if you prefer.
