Keto Pecan Snowball Cookies (Heavenly Keto Christmas Cookies)

Ingredients:
 10 tbsp (3.5oz/100g) finely ground almond flour
 1 cup (4.25oz/120g) chopped pecans
 ¼ cup (1.75oz/50g) granulated erythritol
 7 tbsp (3.5oz/100g) butter, softened
 1 tsp sugar-free vanilla extract
 1 pinch salt
Ingredients after baking:
 powdered erythritol
Instructions:
1

UPDATE: The culprit for melted snowball cookies seems to be the type of almond flour used, which is why we now strongly recommend using defatted almond flour instead of regular almond flour for this recipe.
Defatted almond flour has large parts of its fat content removed and behaves much more like regular wheat flour than “normal” almond flour.

2

Mix all of the ingredients except for the butter.
 

3

Add the softened butter to the flour mixture and knead with your hands until you get a relatively smooth dough. (It's ok if it's a little bit crumbly, the pecans disrupt the dough.)

Chill the dough for 30 minutes in your fridge.
 

4

After about 20 minutes, preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C.
 

5

Form the dough into 1 1/3 inch (approx. 3.4cm) sized balls.
 

6

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the balls on the baking tray.
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
Keep an eye on the cookies, because in my experience, almond flour tends to burn faster than wheat flour!
 

7

Let the cookies cool down a little bit.
While they're still warm but not hot anymore roll them in powdered erythritol.
 

8

Let cool down completely before enjoying them with a hot cup of tea or coffee.

Store in an air-tight container for approx. 1-2 weeks.
