Orange Ball Cookies - No Bake

orange_balls

Our Sunday paper ran the recipe for these a few weeks ago - are they ever delicious! They are quick and easy to make for family or for sharing with friends this Christmas season. Recipe makes about 4 dozen no-bake cookies.

Orange Balls

12 ounces crushed vanilla wafers
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup room temperature butter
1/2 cup thawed orange juice concentrate
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
coconut or powdered sugar for coating

Combine cookie crumbs and 1 cup of powdered sugar; blend in butter. Stir in orange juice; add vanilla and nuts. Shape mixture into walnut-sized balls. Coat in coconut or powdered sugar. Place on a shallow baking sheet or other shallow pan in a single layer. Store uncovered in the refrigerator overnight for the best flavor.

Makes 3-4 dozen, depending on how big you make them.

Enjoy!
