RUM BALLS AND BOURBON BALLS
My husband says his mother used to make rum balls and bourbon balls at Christmas.
Rum balls: He says they were NOT the chocolate kind, and they were definitely baked. He says he remembers them coming out of the oven with a somewhat crisp exterior and tender interior.
Bourbon balls: the only recipes I can find are the no-bake type made with crushed wafer cookies, which I made and we both hated, and he says no, that these were baked.
I have searched my cookbooks and online, but all I can find are recipes for the no-bake kind and the chocolate kind. It's entirely possible that he has these confused with something else, but if anyone would have a recipe for this, it's cooking readers.
Does anyone have a recipe for these specific types of cookies?
Thanks!
