Instructions
Finely ground the pecans using a food processor or a sharp knife. It should resemble pecan flour, not pecan butter (so don’t over-blend).
Lightly toast the chopped pecans in a dry pan over medium heat until they start to smell nutty. Chill for a few minutes.
Cream the room temperature butter and sweetener until airy and lighter in color for about 2 minutes.
Add the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, chopped toasted pecans, salt, and vanilla extract.
Mix using your hands or hand mixer on low until the dough is formed.
Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes. The dough lasts for up to three days in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Form little balls from the dough and arrange on the sheet pan. I made about 20 snowball cookies.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until they are cooked through.
While they’re still warm, roll in powdered (confectioner’s) sweetener.
Allow to cool down then roll in more powdered sweetener. Enjoy!
