Trying New Things

 My friend brought the most delicious cookie balls to our last sewing gathering.  Orange Ball No-Bake Cookies! They were fantastic.

1 stick butter 1 box (16 oz.) confectioner’s sugar 1 can (6 oz.) frozen orange juice concentrate 1 c. finely ground pecans 1 c. flaked coconut 1 box (12 oz.) vanilla wafers, crushed Melt butter add other ingredients. Mix together. Form dough into small balls and roll in wafer crumbs (I rolled them in a bit of powdered sugar.)

I just had to make them for our family night. Really a bit hit!   No one could figure out all the ingredients. (Store cookies in the freezer or refrigerator.)  There are variations on the web-  Google orange ball cookies.

  I might use lemonade next time - that would be interesting.

 Then I decided I needed new apron.  I incorporated a bit of cool, refreshing fabric and a new design. Voile' new apron!

Close up of the design which is from

Urban Threads. Very funky site!

A while back I used another of their designs to make the little gift for the very same "cookie maker" friend! That's you Leslie!
