Low Carb Pecan Snowballs ❄️
Delightful low-carb pecan snowballs, perfect for a festive and healthy holiday treat that everyone will love!
Equipment
- Food Processor
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pecans
- 2 cups superfine blanched almond flour
- 1 cup unsalted grass-fed butter softened
- 1/2 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- fine sea salt A pinch
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened almond milk (add more if needed)
- powdered monk fruit sweetener Extra, for coating
Instructions
- Start by finely grinding your pecans in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs.
- Add the almond flour and softened butter to the processor. Pulse until the mixture just starts to come together.
- Gently mix in the powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue processing until a soft dough ball forms. If the dough seems a little dry, add the almond milk, a tiny bit at a time, until it comes together.
- Remove the dough, wrap it snugly in plastic wrap, and chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This makes it easier to roll!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and gently roll them into smooth balls. Place them on your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the bottoms are just barely golden. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking. Be careful not to over-bake these delicate cookies!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes until they're firm enough to handle.
- While the cookies are still warm, sift 1/2 cup of powdered sweetener into a shallow bowl. Gently roll each warm cookie in the sweetener until well coated.
- Place the coated cookies on a cooling rack. Once they've completely cooled, you can give them a second roll in the powdered sweetener for an extra "snowy" look, if you like!
