Orange Balls

My absolute favorite no-bake cookie. These are hugely popular whenever they are served and are elegant enough for fancy occasions. Fun to make with kids if you don't mind germs; it's hard to avoid licking your fingers when rolling. The recipe calls for rolling the balls in finely chopped nuts or flaked coconut; I don't care for either but have used vanilla wafer crumbs with great success. Just grind them fine, ideally in a food processor.

• 12 oz. vanilla wafers, crushed into crumbs

• 1 pound powdered sugar

• 1/2 cup butter, softened

• 6 oz concentrated orange juice

• Finely chopped pecans, flaked coconut or vanilla wafer crumbs for rolling

Mix all ingredients together and chill slightly before shaping into balls and rolling in desired topping. Store in refrigerator.
