I got this from the EATL mailing list: Here's the long ago promised Rum
Ball Recipe. I usually make it during the first week of December to give
it enough time to cure. I do mail some out to friends in a tin, therefore I
usually double or triple this recipe:

Into a large bowl, sift the cocoa and 1 Cup of confectioner's sugar. Mix in
remaining ingredients. Form the mixture into 1inch balls with your hands.
Sprinkle about 1 Cup confectioner's sugar on a plate and roll the balls in
it to coat. Store in a tin for at least 1 week before giving them away.
These cookies will mellow with age and will keep up to 1 month. They can
also be wrapped in plastic wrap or foil, but this is very time consuming.
Makes about 36.
