Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Mixture
- 3 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
- 1 cup (115g) powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup (80ml) corn syrup
- 1/3 cup (80ml) Baileys Irish Cream
Coating
- 12 oz candy melts
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs and powdered sugar until well blended.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the corn syrup and Baileys Irish Cream, mixing thoroughly. The mixture will be crumbly but should come together enough to shape.
- Form balls: Using about 1 tablespoon of the mixture, roll into balls with your fingertips. If sticky, dust your fingers lightly with powdered sugar to make shaping easier. Set the formed balls aside on parchment paper.
- Melt candy coating: Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in short increments of 15 to 45 seconds, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip cookie balls: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each cookie ball into the melted candy melts to coat evenly. Place the dipped balls back on parchment paper to allow the coating to set and dry.
Notes
- Dust fingertips with powdered sugar to prevent sticking when shaping balls.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Ensure candy melts are melted slowly to prevent burning.
- Store finished cookie balls in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
- Baileys Irish Cream adds a subtle boozy richness; omit or substitute for alcohol-free version if desired.
