Storage Secrets

Right, so if you actually manage to not eat all these almond flour snowball cookies in one sitting (good on you!), here’s what to do.

For short term storage, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days . If you need longer, pop them in the fridge; they'll stay fresh for about a week.

Freezing is an option too! Just freeze them individually on a baking sheet before coating them in powdered erythritol , then transfer them to a freezer bag.

When ready to serve, let them thaw completely and then roll them in the erythritol otherwise, they'll get a bit soggy.

I speak from experience, trust me.

To reheat, I recommend that you do not, they taste amazing cold or at room temperature.

Variations to Keep it Interesting

Want to mix things up? Try adding sugar-free chocolate chips for chocolate chip keto snowball cookies . YUM. Alternatively, for a citrusy twist, add a teaspoon of lemon or orange zest to the dough, I love that little zing!

If you're allergic to nuts, just skip the pecans or walnuts altogether. They're still delicious without them.

These keto Mexican wedding cookies are super adaptable! Also, you can substitute the almond flour for sunflower seed flour, for a nut-free version.
