We start by preparing the necessary ingredients for this delicious cookie candy recipe. The first step is to crush the cookies. You can use a food processor to get a fine powder, but if you prefer a more rustic texture, crushing them with a meat mallet will yield an interesting result with larger pieces. Once the cookies are ready, we turn our attention to the syrup that will add flavor to the mixture.
In a saucepan, we put the milk over medium heat and add the sugar, cocoa, and margarine. We stir constantly to ensure that all the ingredients combine evenly. It is important not to let the mixture boil too much, just until it reaches the boiling point, at which point the aroma becomes intense. After obtaining a homogeneous syrup, we let the mixture cool slightly, but not completely, so that we can add the cookies without overly softening them.
Once the syrup has cooled slightly, we pour it over the crushed cookies. At this stage, we also add the cherry liqueur, which will provide a refined taste and a fruity note. We mix well, ensuring that every crumb of cookie is enveloped in the aromatic syrup. The resulting mixture should be moist and slightly moldable.
Next, we prepare to form the candies. Using a spoon, we take a portion of the cookie paste and add a cherry from the previously used cherry liqueur in the center. If we want to make a child-friendly version, we can opt for a piece of Turkish delight instead of the cherry. We then shape it into a round ball, making sure to seal the filling well inside.
After we have formed all the balls, we roll them in coconut, which will add an attractive appearance and a special aroma. We place the candies on a platter and let them chill in the refrigerator for a few hours until they cool well and harden. These cookie candies are ideal to be served as a dessert at a party or simply to indulge yourself on an ordinary day. The flavors blend perfectly, and the texture is irresistible, making them a delight for all ages. Enjoy!
