Wonderful Holiday Cookies...


Come in and join me for some tea or coffee and relax with a little treat. You deserve it! I've noticed you've been very busy shopping!

Once you try this easy recipe, I think you will add it to your list of favorites!
Ingredients:
1 box of vanilla wafers -12oz
1 6oz can of frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 box of powdered sugar - 16oz
1/2 cup butter
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 1/2 cups of coconut

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

So easy - yet so delicious!







Another recipe you'll just love:

1 tablespoon. sugar
1 cup finely ground pecans

1 cup icing sugar

Cream butter and sugar. Add nuts and vanilla. Work in flour and salt; blend well. Form small balls and bake on ungreased sheet at 300 F oven for 8-10 minutes until barely brown. Coat thoroughly in icing sugar while hot. (These look nice in bon-bon size candy cups).
