Steps:
- Combine the vanilla wafer cookie crumbs and 1 cup confectioners' sugar in a mixing bowl.

ORANGE BLOSSOM COOKIES
This looks very much like a recipe I have made for years but lost a few years ago. They were a family favorite. Have not made them but am posting for safe keeping until I get a new stove that does not burn my cookies LOL I have been zmailed that this is a very sticky dough and hard to roll even after an overnight chill. I did a half batch and chilled for maybe 15 minutes in the freezer a then rolled on a well floured board with no problem. Could be brands of flour I am not sure. So if you decide to make these you may need to add extra flour. Plus do not roll to thin .
