Get your brandy-drinking boots on; it's the week of Christmas. Wonkers generally prefer clear liquor, whiskey, or turpentine, but Baby Jesus loves cognac. Let's make some cheese balls for his birthday party. Cheese balls are ubiquitous this time of year because they are delicious, versatile, and beautiful, and people love to put balls in their mouth. You start by making a base, and then you can divide it up and flavor them any way you want. We'll share two ideas, and you can use those or create your own. Use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, if you have one; otherwise, use a fork and a whole lot of elbow grease.
I like brown liquors and would prefer the cheese ball be sprinkled with cayenne before rolling in the nuts.
Now, do we use crackers or chips with it?
This is David Schwetty's recipe, right?
Then it's 'over the top' for everyone! No shirking! (am seeing too much WW1 stuff)
A pound of cream cheese and a whole stick of butter... cardiologists must be busy in January.

This has always worked for me.
Oh, good, that will keep two cardiologists busy.
As the booze component, you ought to try a dose of Nocino (walnut liquer). That would make the subsequent coronary(ies) totally worth it.
