Baseball Cookies

Baseball Cookies





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! What you need1 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.





What you do .... 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.

"Take me out to the ball game,

Take me out with the crowd.

Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,

I don't care if I never get back,

Let me root, root, root for the home team,

If they don't win it's a shame.

For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,

At the old ball game."

Do be sure to ask Daphne about the cookies we made up at her birthday party!!!! They were made with wafer cookies and a "secret" ingredient!!!!!!!!!!
