No-Bake Pecan Snowballs
Report
Pecan Snowballs are a quick and easy no-bake cookie that remind me of Mexican Wedding Cookies. They are deceptively simple, but so good!

Ingredients
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup soft Medjool dates , pitted (about 10 dates)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup arrowroot , or tapioca starch
- Extra arrowroot for dusting , or coconut sugar (see note below)
Instructions
- Place the pecans and shredded coconut in a large food processor fitted with an "S" blade, and process until the pecans are broken down and crumbly. Add in the rest of the ingredients and process again, until a sticky dough is formed. (It should stick together when pressed between two fingers.)
- Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoons and roll the dough between your hands, forming balls. Arrange the balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then place them in the freezer to set, about 1 to 2 hours. For a "snowball" look, roll the balls in additional arrowroot or tapioca starch-- just a light coating will do, since the starch will not enhance the flavor. It's just for looks!
- Store and serve these cookies in the fridge for best texture. They should keep well in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two weeks, though they didn't last nearly that long in our house before they were gobbled up!
Notes
- If you'd prefer to roll the balls in coconut sugar or shredded coconut, roll them in one of those options before freezing, so the coating will stick better.
