NO-BAKE GINGERSNAP BALLS

Steps:

• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the crushed cookies, pecans and icing sugar. Stir in corn syrup and bourbon, and mix until combined.

VEGAN GINGERSNAP RUM BALLS

Steps:

• If the power's on: Use a food processor to process the gingersnaps and walnuts until finely ground. Then add the ½ cup confectioners' sugar, rum, and maple syrup and process until well mixed.
• If you're unplugged: Combine the crushed cookie crumbs and walnuts in a bowl with ½ cup of the confectioners' sugar, rum, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together.
• To assemble: Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls in the remaining ¼ cup of confectioners' sugar and arrange them on a plate.
• Cover the gingersnap rum balls with plastic film wrap and let them sit for several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to develop. If using an alcohol-free version, it's best to refrigerate them.

GINGERBREAD RUM BALLS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together cookie crumbs and pecans until nuts are coarsely ground. Do not overprocess - you want the nuts to have some texture. Alternatively, finely chop the pecans and toss them in a bowl with the crumbs.
• In a separate large bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar, rum, maple syrup, cocoa powder, fresh ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, ground ginger and salt. Add to food processor and pulse until just combined, or stir into bowl with the crumb mixture, squeezing everything together into a mass. Taste and add more fresh ginger if you like.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll in confectioners' sugar or granulated sugar. If the dough starts to dry out as you roll the balls, drizzle in a little more rum. Store in an airtight container at room temperature (they will keep for at least 2 weeks); roll balls in additional sugar just before serving.
