Steps:
- Combine the vanilla wafer cookie crumbs and 1 cup confectioners' sugar in a mixing bowl.
- Add the butter to the crumb mixture and blend in well.
- Stir in the thawed orange juice concentrate; add vanilla and nuts. Mix with your hands until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- With your hands, shape the mixture into balls about the size of walnuts. Place the prepared balls in a food storage bag with the sifted confectioners' sugar or shredded coconut. Shake the balls around so that the sugar (or coconut) sticks to the balls. You may want to do just a few at a time to prevent overcrowding which could impact the shape of the balls.
- Remove the balls from the bag and arrange the orange balls in single layer on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Store them uncovered overnight in the refrigerator for the best flavor. If you like making easy or no-bake desserts, try chocolate bourbon truffles or big batch no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies .

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Oranges: Select firm, ripe oranges with a deep orange color. Avoid oranges with blemishes or soft spots.
- Zesting the Oranges: Use a fine grater to zest the oranges. Grating too deeply will yield bitter pith.
- Measuring the Orange Juice: Measure the orange juice after squeezing it to ensure accuracy.
- Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and cutting helps prevent the balls from spreading too much during baking.
- Rolling the Dough: Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch for a crispy texture and 1/4 inch for a softer texture.
- Cutting the Dough: Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough into even-sized balls.
- Baking the Orange Balls: Bake the orange balls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until they are golden brown and firm to the touch, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking.
- Storing the Orange Balls: Allow the orange balls to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature.
Conclusion:
These easy orange balls are a delightful treat that combines the vibrant flavors of orange with a crispy and chewy texture.
