Snowball Keto Christmas Cookies Recipe
Description
The Snowball Keto Christmas Cookies Recipe uses almond flour as a base with erythritol as the sweetener, creating a gentle sweetness and crumbly texture. Softened butter and vanilla combine with the dry ingredients to form a dough that is easy to shape into balls. Baking at 350°F for about 10 minutes produces cookies that are soft yet hold their round shape. Cooling slightly before transferring to a rack helps finish the setting process, while dusting with powdered erythritol adds a festive, snowy appearance. A dried cranberry crowns each cookie, offering a contrast in tartness and a pop of color.
The cookies' soft crumb and mild flavor make them suitable for those avoiding carbs and sugar but still wanting a festive treat. Their small size and mild sweetness allow them to be enjoyed with tea or coffee during the holidays.
It is important to allow the cookies to cool completely before eating to avoid a doughy texture, as eating them warm can leave them tasting underbaked. The recipe yields 26 cookies, providing a good batch for gifting or holiday serving.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup erythritol plus more for dusting, powdered
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ cup butter softened - vegan, if needed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 26 dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the almond flour, powdered erythritol, and sea salt to a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the softened butter and vanilla and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough and roll it into 26 balls. Place them on 2 baking sheets, spacing 1-inch apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes and then let them cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack. Dust with a little extra powdered erythritol (a fine-mesh sieve works well for this) and top each one with a dried cranberry.
Notes
- Let the cookies cool completely before eating to ensure proper texture and avoid undercooked taste.
- Use powdered erythritol for dusting for a fine, snowy finish on the cookies.
- The recipe yields 26 cookies, each shaped into a tablespoon-sized ball and topped with a dried cranberry.
