Cooking tip: With just 7 ingredients, these delightful keto snowball cookie bites have the perfect blend of smooth and crunchy textures in a one bite dessert. We prefer using powdered erythritol and monkfruit blend for best flavor, but you are welcome to use the powdered or confectioners version of your favorite no sugar sweetener if desired.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (84g) slivered almonds
- 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (30g) powdered erythritol and monkfruit sweetener
- 3/4 cup (84g) finely ground blanched almond flour
- 3 tablespoons vanilla milkshake whey protein powder, Quest brand suggested
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons (22.5g) powdered erythritol and monkfruit sweetener
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350°.
- Spread almond slivers evenly over a baking sheet and toast in the oven until gently browned, about 6 minutes. Allow to cool then finely chop. Reduce oven temperature to 325°.
- In a medium bowl, use an electric hand mixer on medium speed to beat butter until creamy. Add vanilla extract and continue to beat, scraping down sides as needed, until combined. Add in 1/4 cup powdered sweetener and beat on low until incorporated, then increase speed to medium and beat until fluffy.
- In a small bowl, mix together chopped toasted almonds, almond flour, whey protein powder and salt until combined. Add one third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low until combined, repeating until all the flour is incorporated and a crumbly dough has formed.
- Use a 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon to portion dough into 29 even balls, rolling each ball to make a smooth exterior. Place about 1/2-inch apart on a parchment covered baking sheet and bake at 325° for 10 minutes, until browned. Watch these cookies closely in the last few minutes to ensure they don’t burn. Allow cookies to cool for at least 15 minutes before the final step. They will be crumbly when warm.
- Place the remaining 3 tablespoons powdered sweetener in a flat bottom bowl and roll each cooled cookie until lightly coated. One cookie as described is one serving.
