Baseball Cookies

By CarolV

These no-bake cookies are almost as fun to make as they are to give. They are quick and easy to assemble and they look great!

Ingredients

• 1 12-ounce box wafer cookies, crushed
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 2 ounces melted unsweetened chocolate
• 6 pieces red string licorice
• 16 ounces white chocolate wafers

Preparation

Step 1

The chocolate does dry fast, so make sure to place the licorice pieces on right after dipping. If the melted chocolate starts to harden, simply reheat for a few seconds and continue dipping.

Line a work surface with waxed paper. In a large bowl mix together the condensed milk, crushed cookies, walnuts, and unsweetened chocolate. Take a tablespoonful of dough and roll into a ball. Place on the waxed paper and flatten gently. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing the cookies one inch apart.

Cut the licorice into 1 1/2 inch pieces and set aside. Melt the white chocolate until smooth over a double boiler or in a microwave, stirring frequently. Dip the cookies into the chocolate using a fork and quickly, before the chocolate dries, place two licorice pieces on the cookies to form the baseball threads. Let dry thoroughly before packaging or giving.

Makes 5 dozen cookies.
