Orange Mexican Wedding Cookies

2 cups unsalted butter, softened

2/3 cup firmly packed confectioners sugar

3 Tbl orange zest

4 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

Confectioners' sugar

In a medium bowl combine butter and confectioners' sugar. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy, about 2 min. Add orange zest, beating until combined.  Add flour and salt, beating to combine well. Wrap dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350.  Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into 1-inch balls.  Place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.  Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until set, but not browned.  Let cool on pans for 5 minutes.  Roll in confectioners' sugar.  After cookies have cooled completely, roll in confectioners' sugar a second time.
