Snowball cookies are a holiday classic! They’re really fun to make, they taste incredible, and for many, they are tradition. We love snowball cookies because they are somewhat unique.
They are crunchy but not dry. They’re perfectly light and airy but are also satisfying. Because they’re so great, we knew that we needed to make a keto friendly version so that we could enjoy this holiday classic.
As I mentioned, these cookies are super fun to make! The recipe isn’t complicated at all and you don’t need a bunch of recipe-specific ingredients. All in all, keto snowball cookies are one of our favorite cookies to make, especially during the holidays.
Best POWDERED Sweetener For Keto Snowball Cookies
The most important part of these cookies is the powdered sweetener that makes these snowball cookies “snowballs.” Not only does powdered sweetener give these classic keto snowball cookies their classic look, but also (and maybe most importantly), their great taste. I am a firm believer that anything dusted with powdered sweetener is good.
So since the powdered sweetener is super important for these cookies, we used the best! Specifically, we used Lakanto’s Powdered Monk Fruit which is a powdered sugar substitute.
Lakanto’s powdered monk fruit has the same texture as powdered sugar, the same consistency, and has an amazingly great taste, all while being zero glycemic, completely natural, and 100% keto friendly.
We absolutely love Lakanto and all of the incredible monk fruit products that they make. We use some form of their sweetener in every single dessert recipe that we make because it really is the best.
If you want to try Lakanto’s monk fruit, or if you just need to restock, shop their website and use our code, “BUTTERTOGETHER” at checkout to save 20% on your entire order!

How To Make Classic Keto Snowball Cookies
Gather all ingredients together.
In a large mixing bowl, mix to combine butter, Lakanto powdered monk fruit, and salt.
Add almond flour and vanilla and mix until a soft dough forms.
Use a small cookie scooper or spoon to scoop dough; roll into 24 balls. Place on 2 baking sheets, spacing dough 1-inch apart.
Bake 10 minutes and let cool a bit before transferring to a cooling rack. Dust with powdered monk fruit. Cookies are best served at room temperature; let cool completely before serving.
Can You Make These Keto Snowball Cookies Ahead?
Absolutely! These keto snowball cookies are really easy to make ahead and freeze if you plan on keeping them around for a while. Just be sure to store them properly in an airtight container. Additionally, they keep for about four-five days if stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Whether you freeze them or refrigerate them, just remember that these keto snowball cookies are best served at room temperature!
Variations To This Recipe
Another great thing about this classic keto snowball cookie recipe is that it is easily customized to suit your taste or needs.
You can make these cookies with no nuts as directed in the recipe, or you can add in your favorite kind of nut if you prefer. One cup of your favorite kind of chopped nuts will make these keto snowball cookies taste incredible. We love these cookies with chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, chopped almonds, and even chopped macadamia nuts. There’s really no way you can go wrong, but our favorite variation is probably the chopped pecan version.
In addition to adding nuts, you can also change the flavor of these cookies by making chocolate snowball cookies or even ginger snowball cookies!
