❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
These orange balls are so easy to make and only a few ingredients and they are wonderful cold out of the fridge. If you love orange, you will definitely want to make these because they’re so refreshing and a great Christmas treat. You can enjoy them year-round but they are very festive for the holidays.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Powdered sugar
- Crushed vanilla wafers
- Butter
- Finely chopped pecans (can use any type of nuts)
- Orange juice concentrate, thawed.
SWAPS
You can swap out the nuts in this or leave them out altogether. I think you could also swap out the orange juice concentrate for lemonade and make lemon balls too. Coconut would be a wonderful addition to these.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
These are not hard to make, but they do take a little prep work.
PREPARATIONS
I placed vanilla wafers in a Ziploc bag and rolled over them with a rolling pin to crush them. You could also use a food processor, which may be easier for some.
Step 1
Mix all ingredients together and shape them into walnut-sized balls. Roll balls in additional powdered sugar or coconut. Place in refrigerator to chill until firm. Makes 15-20 cookies.
⭐TIP
These need to chill in the fridge, so for best results, make these in advance. They definitely get better with time!
RECIPE VARIATIONS
Add coconut for a more tropical flavor; the orange and coconut go really well together. Double the recipe for a gathering because these will not last long!
