Chocolate Kahlua Truffle Cookies (No Bake)

Submitted by FLUFFSTER

"These are like a little bit of heaven!They're almost like a cookie fudge! I had them at a friend's house the other night and wasn't happy until I called her for the recipe! There are a few steps, but not that many, when you end up with one of the very best cookies you'll ever try! Making the cookie crumbs is a snap using a food processor! If you don't have Kahlua,you can use whatever you have on hand. Use something that will go well with Chocolate, orange, raspberry, mint, or caramel are good choices. Bake time is chill time. Note: For children, you may want to leave out the liqueur, and replace it with a flavoring or extract."
