KETO SNOWBALL COOKIES || PECAN COOKIES

Winter is OFFICIALLY just around the corner (even though it may feel like it) so let's kick it off with some keto snowball cookies.

These delicious shortbread snacks are filled with chopped pecans and rolled in a sweet sugar substitute. Totally worth it!

What you will need:

3/4 cup (150g) butter - room temperature
2 cups (200g) almond flour
1/2 cup (100g) sugar substitute
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp baking powder
1tsp vanilla
1/2 cup (50g) pecans - chopped
powdered sugar substitute for rolling

In a mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the butter, sugar substitute and vanilla until smooth. If it doesn't smooth very well, it's still too cold.

Slowly mix in the almond flour, xanthan gum and baking powder.
Once it's thoroughly mixed together, it should resemble coarse graham crackers with butter.

Dump the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and use your hands to knead it together. Make sure there are no clumps of butter in your dough. Add your pecans at this time.

Place the dough back into the bowl and freeze for 15 minutes.

Take the bowl out of the freezer and roll the dough into 18 cookie balls.

Bake the cookies at 350°F / 175°C for 15-20 minutes.

Once the cookies have cooled, roll them in confectioners sugar substitute.

Enjoy!

This makes 18 cookies.
