Easy Keto Christmas Snowballs ❄️
These delightful Easy Keto Christmas Snowballs are the perfect low-carb treat for your holiday season. Made with almond flour, butter, and pecans, they are rolled in powdered sugar substitute for that classic festive look.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
- 0.33 cup powdered sugar substitute (like Swerve)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.66 cup pecans finely chopped
- Pinch salt (only if using unsalted butter)
- 0.5 cup extra powdered sugar substitute for coating
Instructions
- Cream the Base: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with ⅓ cup of powdered sugar substitute until light and creamy. This creates a wonderfully smooth foundation for your cookies!
- Mix in Dry & Flavor: Gently stir in the almond flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if your butter was unsalted) until everything is well combined and forms a soft dough.
- Fold in Nuts: Carefully fold in the finely chopped pecans. Ensure they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Shape & Chill: Roll the dough into 24 uniform, bite-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and pop them into the freezer for 30 minutes. This step helps them maintain their perfect shape during baking!
- Bake to Perfection: While the cookies are chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the frozen cookie balls for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden.
- Coat & Enjoy: Let the baked cookies cool for just a few minutes. While they're still slightly warm, roll them generously in the remaining ½ cup of powdered sugar substitute. This gives them their classic "snowball" appearance! Allow them to cool completely before serving for the best texture.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of powdered sugar substitute for coating based on your preference.
