These festive sugar-free snowball Christmas cookies are pillowy, melt-in-your-mouth treats with a classic nutty flavor and snowy finish. Made with almond and coconut flour, they’re gluten-free, low-carb, and perfect for holiday gatherings or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 cup finely ground almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans or walnuts, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup powdered erythritol (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Spread pecans or walnuts on a small baking tray and toast for 5-7 minutes until fragrant. Cool, then chop finely.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat unsalted butter with erythritol or monk fruit sweetener until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  4. Mix in vanilla extract and salt until just combined.
  5. Add almond flour and coconut flour. Mix gently until the dough is soft and holds its shape.
  6. Stir in toasted, chopped nuts by hand. If dough feels too crumbly, add 1-2 teaspoons milk (dairy-free or regular) until it comes together.
  7. Scoop 1 tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until cookies are set and bottoms are lightly golden.
  9. Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  10. Sift powdered erythritol over warm cookies for a snowy finish. For a thicker coating, roll cookies while slightly warm, then again when fully cooled.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for easier mixing. Toasting nuts enhances flavor. For dairy-free, substitute butter with refined coconut oil. If dough feels dry, add a splash of milk. Double dust cookies for extra snowy effect. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
