By Ann
These crowd pleasing, easy to make No Bake Pecan Praline Bourbon Balls are a great cookie to make when you need a lot of cookies for a party or gathering. These delicious cookies are tasty treats that hold up well in the refrigerator.

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 3 Minutes
Total Time: 2 Hours

Ingredients:

● 30 Pecan Sandies
● 1 cup Butterscotch Chips
● ¼ cup Dark Corn Syrup
● 3 cups Confectioners Sugar, divided
● ¾ cup Kentucky Bourbon

Directions:

● Place pecan sandies in food processor, pulse to create fine crumbs; set aside.
● Heat butterscotch chips and corn syrup together in sauce pan over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently until butterscotch is melted and smooth, about 3 minutes.
● Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup confectioners sugar and the Kentucky bourbon until smooth.
● Fold in cookie crumbs, dough will be sticky.
● Place saucepan in refrigerator for 30 minutes, until dough is “stiff” enough to work with.
● Line 2 baking pans (or cookie sheets) with parchment paper; sprinkle a small amount of confectioners sugar on the parchment paper.
● Place 1 cup of confectioners sugar on a plate.
● Make SMALL balls (the smaller the better, approximately 1 teaspoonful of dough) rolling between the palms of your hands.
● Roll bourbon ball in confectioners sugar on the plate (not the baking pan).
● Place bourbon ball on prepared baking pan (or cookie sheet).
● Refrigerate the baking pans of bourbon balls until firm; approximately 30 minutes.
● Remove from refrigerator, reroll each little ball between your hands to form a ball (they will need to be reformed as they will flatten a bit in the fridge) recoat balls with remaining confectioners sugar.
● Keep stored in refrigerator.
● Before serving, remove from fridge for 15-20 minutes to allow bourbon balls to come to room temperature.

● Note: these are better several days after making! The Kentucky Bourbon flavor really comes through.
● Note: as of this writing a bag of pecan sandies is 11.3ounces and contains just 21 cookies. You will need to crack open a second bag to make these No Bake Pecan Praline Bourbon Balls.

No Bake Pecan Praline Bourbon Balls Recipe Mise en Place:
