Orange Ball Cookies

I do not use the pecans or coconuts. I roll them in powdered sugar.  If they are still sticky after mixing the ingredients just add more powdered sugar.

• 1 box (12 ounces) vanilla wafers
• 1 small can (6-oz) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
• 1 box (16 ounces) powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 can (3 1/2 ounces) coconut, or about 1 to 1 1/2 cups

Instructions:Crush vanilla wafers until fine. Mix together the crushed vanilla wafers, orange juice concentrate, powdered sugar, butter, and chopped pecans. Shape mixture into walnut-size balls; roll in coconut. Store balls in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
