Jo Anne's Notes:

Since I love the flavor of orange, I wanted to find a recipe for orange liqueur balls for the New Year's Celebration!

Directions

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 Tbsp. of butter on medium-high. Set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together sugar cookie crumbs, nuts, powdered sugar, corn syrup, orange liqueur and melted butter until well blended.

Place one cup powdered sugar into a small bowl.

Shape mixture into 1-inch balls and roll and coat them in the powdered sugar.

Place the balls on a cooking sheet lined with waxed paper and cover with plastic wrap, let stand for 2 hours.

Before serving, roll and coat the balls once again in powdered sugar.
