Orange Snowball Butter Cookies

I thought I would post a recipe a day until you have all of the recipes...

1c. butter, softened
3/4 c powdered sugar
1 T orange zest
1 T orange juice
2 2/3 c. flour

Cream butter and sugar well. Mix in orange juice and zest. Mix in flour in batches until combined. Roll into balls. Bake at 325 for 18-20 min. Let cookies cool on sheet for :10 min. Then dip warm cookies in glaze and sugar zest. Cool completely.

Glaze:
1 T orange zest
1/4 c of sugar

Combine and add enough water or orange juice to get a syrup-like consistency. Warm the mixture in the microwave.

Sugar zest:
1 T orange zest combined with 1/2 c. sugar

You may need to make more glaze and sugar zest depending on how well you cover your cookies.

Enjoy!
