How to Make The Inn At Jackson's Orange Snowball Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 3 cups powdered sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 30 seconds).
  3. Add 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice and mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually add 4 cups all-purpose flour, beating on low speed until just combined.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest and the remaining flour (if needed, to reach a slightly sticky dough consistency) using a wooden spoon.
  6. Roll dough into 1 1/4-inch balls.
  7. Roll each ball in 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  8. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  11. While cookies cool, prepare the coating: In a food processor, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest until well blended.
  12. Roll the warm cookies in the orange sugar mixture to coat completely.
  13. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
