These keto holiday cookies are a fun twist on the classic snowball cookies, which are often loaded with sugar and flour. But with a few smart swaps, you can enjoy all the flavor and none of the carbs. Whether you’re hosting a holiday party, looking for a keto-friendly treat to bring to a family gathering, or just craving a festive snack, these keto snowball cookies will be the star of the season!

What Makes These Keto Snowball Cookies Special?

These snowball cookies are more than just delicious—they’re a much healthier version of the holiday classic. Here’s why they’ll become a staple in your holiday baking:

Low-Carb and Sugar-Free: With only 2 net carbs per cookie, these treats are the perfect choice for anyone following a keto or low-carb diet. No sugar spikes, just pure cookie bliss!
Gluten-Free: No need to worry about gluten with these keto snowball cookies. They’re made with a combination of almond flour and coconut flour, which keeps them light and fluffy, without the gluten.
Pillow Soft Texture: Despite being low-carb, these cookies are incredibly soft and melt-in-your-mouth tender—just like the traditional version.
Perfectly Festive: With their powdered-sugar-like coating and buttery flavor, they’ll make your holiday spread extra special.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

The best part about these keto snowball cookies is that you probably already have most of the ingredients in your pantry! And for the few specialty items you need, they’re simple to find at most grocery stores. Here’s what you’ll need to make these irresistible low-carb Christmas cookies:

Butter: Use unsalted butter for the best flavor and texture.
Cream Cheese: This adds richness and helps give the cookies that soft, melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
Powdered Sugar-Free Sweetener: I love using powdered erythritol or a monk fruit/erythritol blend. It dissolves perfectly into the dough for a smooth, sweet finish, and gives these cookies their snowy appearance.
Egg Yolk: Just the yolk gives these cookies their rich, soft, decadent texture.
Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the sweetness and balances out the flavors.
Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla is essential for that warm, comforting holiday flavor.
Blanched Almond Flour: using blanched flour (without the dark almond skins) gives these cookies their perfect appearance.
Coconut Flour: Just a small amount of coconut flour helps give the cookies structure without making them dry or crumbly.

Optional Add-Ins:

Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips: For a festive twist, stir in some sugar-free chocolate chips. They’ll create little pockets of sweetness in each bite.
Chopped Pecans or Walnuts: If you love a nutty crunch, feel free to fold in chopped pecans or walnuts.

Why You’ll Love These Keto Snowball Cookies:

These keto Christmas cookies will soon become one of your holiday favorites! They’re:

A Low-Carb Delight: With only 2 net carbs each, you can enjoy these cookies without worrying about kicking yourself out of ketosis.
Perfect for Sharing: Whether you’re baking for a holiday party or gift-giving, these cookies are sure to impress. They look beautiful and taste amazing!

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter room temp (56g)
1/4 cup cream cheese room temp (56g)
1/4 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener* 48g
1 egg yolk
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract 5ml
1 cup blanched almond flour 112g
2 Tbsp coconut flour 14g
1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips 56g – optional, or chopped pecans, walnuts, or add-in of your choice
1/2 cup powdered sweetener for rolling (96g)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Add sweetener and beat again. Add egg yolk, salt, and vanilla and beat again until combined.
Add flours and beat again until dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips, or add-ins of choice, if using.
Form into 12 one-inch balls, and place on baking sheet. Press down slightly to desired thickness, as they won’t spread much while baking.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, so that the cookies are still warm but won’t burn your fingers.
Place powdered sweetener in a shallow dish. Roll warm cookies in powdered sweetener until they have a snowy appearance.
Enjoy!
