4 Ingredient Keto Snowball Cookies
These 4-Ingredient Keto Snowball Cookies are buttery, nutty, with a classic, melt-in-your-mouth texture. These cookies offer a satisfying crunch and delicate sweetness without the carbs. With just four ingredients and minimal prep, they’re a quick, low-carb treat for the holiday season or any time you're craving something sweet and simple.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (103 g) pecan halves, or walnut halves
- 1/2 cup (45 g) coconut flour
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered erythritol or monkfruit, divided (see note)
- 10 tbsp (142 g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the pecans in a food processor and pulse until they’re finely chopped to the size of small crumbs.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped pecans, coconut flour, and 1/3 cup of powdered sweetener. Whisk until evenly combined. Add the melted butter and stir with a spatula until a soft dough forms. The dough will be a little bit wet, but that is okay. You don't want to let the dough sit until it becomes dry.
- Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop the dough and release it onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 1 inch apart. Use your fingers to smooth the surface of the dough balls.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cookies turn light golden brown. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet so that they are able to set and firm up.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, roll each one in the remaining powdered sweetener until fully coated. You can also dust them with powdered sweetener instead of rolling. Store uneaten cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or longer in the fridge or freezer.
