Tips

Since there is very little liquid, don't let these dry out, roll them in sugar immediately after mixing, the sugar will adhere better.

If you do make them ahead of time, remember they get stronger in the strength of the alcohol flavors.

Freezing them works great but leave off the sugar.

I usually thaw them and then roll them in sugar.

The wetness from the freezer may cause them to look more like lumpy frosting on them.

If you would be using jams like the original rum cake balls as mentioned, lightly brush with a warmed flavored jam then roll in sprinkles or coconut.

This is the ultimate Christmas tray cookie for adults.There is no way for me to make one batch since everyone likes a different liqueur.When mom was alive Frangelico was her favorite and the only alcohol she used in them.Dad loved bourbon, I liked rum or Amaretto and then as time went on Irish Cream became another new favorite.Actually, the truth be known, I really loved them all, so now, I made a double batch, separate the dough into four evenly sized balls and add a different liqueur in each one.Viola, everyone is happy.For a gift-giving tin of these, I make them their favorite alcohol flavored balls.s were originally invented by the Danish bakers who had leftover rum cakes in their bakeriesThey would mix the cake crumbs with ingredients to make what they call rum cake balls and coated them with jam and coconut.You can also do the same if you would like the original style recipes you would find in local baked shops in Denmark.Theseare also a very popular cookie at Christmas and well known for these treats Worldwide just about everywhere.You will find them all over England, Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, here in the United States, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic always around the Christmas holiday.Again, you could enjoy them in Denmark year-round and known as either romkugle, trøffel or sputnik, depending on the region you're visiting.Also, use separated dough and bowls to avoid them all tasting alike.Store the flavored rum balls in separate containers and cover with plastic wrap and use wax paper in between or pretty candy paper liners.The cookie dough is simple to work with.Just use a spoon or spatula to combine all the ingredients by hand after you've crushed the vanilla wafers or you can add everything to the food processor to blend together.I usually add the wafers to a bowl and blend the ingredients in by hand, either way, works out fine.If you find the dough too sticky to roll, let it sit a few minutes to absorb the cookie crumbs, it will get easier to roll.Let it sit no longer than 10 minutes or it will start to dry out and harder for the powdered sugar to stick to the dough balls.Disclosure: This recipe was originally shared in 2014.
