Directions:
- In a food processor, process the vanilla wafers and 1 cup of the pecans until finely ground.
- Add the powdered sugar and orange zest and process until evenly incorporated.
- With the motor running, add the orange juice concentrate, orange liqueur, and corn syrup through the feed tube and process just until well blended.
- If the mixture seems too soft to handle, let it stand for a few minutes until firm; if it seems too dry and crumbly, sprinkle in a little water and process briefly to incorporate.
- Finely chop the remaining 1/3 cup of pecans.
- Spread them in a shallow bowl.
- Shape portions of the mixture into scant 1 balls with lightly greased hands.
- Press the balls into the pecans, turning until coated lightly all over.
- If the pecans don't stick well, moisten the balls by rolling them in slightly damp hands.
- Let the cookies mellow in an airtight container for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight before serving.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 1 month.
