How To Make Ginger Bourbon Truffles

First, place the gingersnaps and candied ginger in a food processor. If you don’t have one you can place your cookies in a resealable bag and beat with a mallet or meat tenderizer and chop the candied ginger and place in a bowl. You can mix the rest by hand or continue with the food processor.

Pulse cookies and ginger until finely ground. Add confectioners sugar and cocoa to processor and pulse to combine. While the processor is running, pour in the melted butter and bourbon and pulse until mixture comes together and is smooth.

Spread into a glass dish and refrigerate for 30 – 60 minutes or until the dough is workable.

Place sprinkles in a shallow dish. Form dough into 1 inch balls using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop. Roll in the sprinkles and place on a parchment lined baking sheet or dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

Enjoy!
