- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (optional, like pecans or walnuts)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Extra powdered erythritol for rolling (about 1/4 cup)
Instructions: - Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered erythritol until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually add the almond flour and a pinch of salt. Stir until the dough comes together. If using, fold in the finely chopped nuts.
- Form the Cookies:
- Scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Gently press down on each ball with the back of a spoon to slightly flatten them.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still be soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Roll in Sweetener:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, roll the cookies in the extra powdered erythritol to give them the snowball effect.
- Serve:
- Serve the cookies at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Tips: - For a more festive flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough.
- If the dough is too crumbly, add a tablespoon of almond flour at a time until it holds together better.
