4 Ingredient Healthier Snowball Cookies
These snowball cookies melt in your mouth just like regular snowball cookies but are made a little healthier. Just 4 ingredients and no wheat flour, eggs, or refined sugar needed. The cookies store well and are perfect for gifting or bringing to an event.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups (236g) superfine blanched almond flour, see note
- 8 tbsp (110g) unsalted butter, melted
- 4 1/2 tbsp (67ml) maple syrup
- 2 tbsp (22g) powdered sweetener or more as needed, can also use powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the almond flour, melted butter, and maple syrup, Mix with a spatula until a soft, scoopable dough forms. If your dough is too dry, add a splash more of maple syrup.
- Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough. Roll each dough between your hands to form a mostly smooth ball. Place the balls back onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 12-20 minutes, or until the the edges and top are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to fully cool.
- Add 2 tbsp of powdered sweetener to a fine mesh strainer and dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sweetener. If needed, you can add more powdered sweetener in order to fully cover the cookies.
- Store cookies in an airtight container. Cookies can be kept for a few days at room temperature and longer in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Recipe lightly adapted from Conscious Plant Kitchen
- Almond flour note: Make sure to use superfine almond flour. When measuring the almond flour with a measuring cup, make sure to use a spoon to scoop out the almond flour into the measuring cup and then level off with a knife. Do not directly scoop the almond flour using the measuring cup because this will result in too much almond flour.
- I used Kirkland superfine almond flour to make these cookies.
- Estimated nutrition assumes a powdered allulose on the cookies. If you use regular powdered sugar, the estimated nutrition will be slightly higher but it shouldn't be that much higher since only about 2 tbsp of sugar is used and some of it doesn't end up on the cookies.
