Wrap and refrigerate dough at least 2 hours. Preheat oven to 325. Roll dough into 1" balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until firm but golden. Cool slightly and remove to racks to completely cool. Make glaze: Mix remaining confectioners sugar with the orange juice and drizzle over the cooled cookies.

Some of the cookies, I just dipped them in the orange juice then rolled them in granulated sugar and they were very tasty.
