Jack Daniel's Doodles Recipe
Easy chocolate cookies with a kick!
2 eggs, beaten
1 (18 ounce) box devil's food cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
5 tablespoons jack daniel whiskey or other sweet whiskey
1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
36 servings
25 minutes 10 mins prep
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine eggs, cake mix, oil, nuts (if using) and whiskey in batter bowl and mix well.
Chill dough overnight, or at least 3 hours.
Form into small balls (about 1-2 tablespoons each) and roll in powdered sugar.
Place cookies on ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, until almost no indentation remains when touched.
They will be soft when taken from the oven, but will crispen when cooled.
Bake for closer to 10 minutes if you like a softer cookie, closer to 15 for crispy ones!
If you want, sprinkle with a little more powdered sugar before serving.

Bourbon/Rum Balls
1 (12 oz.) box vanilla wafers
3/4 c. powdered sugar
2 c. pecans, finely chopped
1/3 c. cocoa
1/3 c. light corn syrup
1/3 c. rum
1/3 c. bourbon
Mix together light corn syrup, rum and bourbon. Grind vanilla wafers very fine in a food processor; add pecans, powdered sugar and cocoa. Then add the syrup, rum and bourbon mixture. Mix all ingredients well; let cool in refrigerator about 45 minutes. Shape into 1-inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place in airtight container and store in refrigerator up to one week. Make a few days in advance of serving. Makes about 5 dozen.
Cook's notes: I have used Jack Daniel's or Southern Comfort in this recipe.
This year I learned a new technique so as not to get hands so messy. Dip the cooled mixture out with 2 teaspoons onto waxed paper. Then spray the balls with butter spray and then form into smooth balls before rolling in the powdered sugar. Be sure and store in refrigerator.
