Rum Cookies


These are good gift cookies because they keep so well.

3/4 pound walnuts
1 (12-oz.) pkg. vanilla wafers, crushed
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup white or dark rum
1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
Sugar

Grind walnuts in a food grinder, using medium blade. (Don't use a food processor or blender, the texture will be wrong.)

Combine ground walnuts, vanilla wafer crumbs, honey, orange juice, rum, and orange rind in a bowl. Mix well. Shape into 3/4 inch balls. Roll each ball in sugar.

Place on waxed-paper lined baking sheets and allow to dry.

Store in tightly closed container.
