Nutty Orange Snowballs image

These nutty, buttery cookies will melt in your mouth, leaving just a trace of orange flavor. An old recipe from my mom in North Dakota, they used to be reserved only for weddings and special occasions. But they're great for Christmas because they look just like snowballs! -Judith Weidner, Spearfish, South Dakota

I had trouble getting the cookies to hold together. I think I might have needed to chill the dough for longer.
