These are delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe. When I made my second batch, I used my grandmother's cooking secret -- I added a shot of brandy to the mixture. The brandy enhances the flavor - myself, my family, and my friends loved them.

OH WOW! I'm glad I waited to review this....I tasted these right after making them and the orange flavor was a bit too much for me BUT then I tried another after sitting in the refrigerator overnight and it was PERFECT! So I would suggest preparing a day in advance for the ultimate results. I also would recomend letting the batter chill before forming into balls as they fall apart. The next time I make these I will also try coating these in a simple glaze instead of rolling in sugar or coconut.

My mom made this recipe when I was a little girl and totally forgot about it. I loved it but she could never remember what I was talking about. I was so excited to find this recipe and I'm glad I did. I got carried away and acidentally added a 12oz can of OJ and had to scurry to make a double batch, lol. I'm glad I did though b/c it went fast!

This is a wonderful cookie. My mom used to make these for us at Christmas and we just gobbled them up and now I make them for my family and have the same results, lol. A great addition to a family tradition.

Delicious. First time I did as directed, but second time I forgot to put the butter in, and actually they did better, and I really like the taste better without the butter. Thanks for a new Christmas tradition cookie here :).

This was so easy! One helpful hint-my grocery store does not carry the small 6 oz cans of frozen OJ. I thawed the 12 oz OJ in the fridge and then measured out 3/4 c. of the concentrate. It mixed up just right! I saved the remainder for a second batch.

Great cookies. I added 1 T orange extract, then added only enough concentrated orange juice to sufficiently moisten for easy handling. I mixed the pecans into the dough, eliminated the coconut, then rolled into balls and place on cooling racks. Let dry overnight, then drizzle with melted chocolate! before placing into tiny paper cups. Wow, my family loves these cookies. White, or milk chocolate may be used. I like them both. Yum...

I was going to submit this recipe but realized it was already here. My grandma makes these every year and now I do too. Something a little different for your Christmas plate and so delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but they turned out super mushy and wouldn't solidify no matter what I tried. They were also too sweet, even for me.

I found it! My late grandma made these every Christmas. I am sure this is the recipe she shared with me once. These little orange balls have a sweet tangy bit that are WONDERFUL!!!

I have been looking for this recipe for years. I first came across it in a magazine in 1971. It called for crushed pecan shortbread cookies (Pecan Sandies) rather than graham crackers or vanilla wafers. Thank you!!

These are absolutely delicious! I wanted to try something new for the holidays and boy am I glad that I did! Easy to make (though it does take some time to crush up all those nilla wafers!!) Thanks for sharing!!

The reason I'm writing a review is to tell other people who are unfamiliar with these cookies (like I was) to not be disheartened when they first look at the dough. The cookie does firm up after a day in the fridge and it does end up being a very tasty cookie. Although unusual. It is a no-bake cookie but in this case that doesn't mean it's not time consuming to prepare.
