Sugar Free Mexican Wedding Cookies Recipes

SUGAR-FREE KETO SNOWBALL COOKIES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• Using a food processor, pulse nuts a few times to chop them. Add the remaining cookie dough ingredients to food processor, and then pulse a few times until a dough forms.
• Use a teaspoon and roll 20 balls of dough and place them on a cookie sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes for best results so they keep a ball shape.
• Bake for about 15-17 minutes until slightly browned. Take them out and let cool before rolling them in additional Swerve confectioners sweetener. Cookies can be stored in an air-tight container for up to several days.

SUGAR FREE MEXICAN WEDDING COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 300 and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• Start by creaming together your softened butter with the granular sugar alternative at a low speed in a mixing bowl. Then blend in the vanilla extract.
• Next, we will add the flour to the mixing bowl. It is best to do this by adding half of the flour at a time, mixing gently between additions. Then you can fold in the chopped nuts.
• For this next step we will shape the cookies into balls (or other shape such as crescent) and place the cookies onto the prepared cookie sheets. Tip: use a tablespoon to scoop out the cookie dough to make your cookie size consistent. Also, if your cookie dough seems to be a bit sticky, you can coat your hands with a bit of flour or oil.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes and allow to cool on a cookie rack, When cooled, roll the cookies in the powdered sugar to coat them.

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

TRADITIONAL MEXICAN WEDDING COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy; stir in vanilla.
• Whisk together flour and salt; add gradually to butter mixture; stir in chopped nuts.
• Chill dough if it seems too soft.
• Form dough into 1 1/4" balls and place onto parchment-lined or ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or just until the cookies start to turn light golden-brown; remove from oven and allow to cool slightly; while cookies are still warm (but NOT hot) remove them from baking sheets and roll, a few at a time, in powdered sugar until evenly coated; cool cookies completely on wire racks.
• Cookies may (optionally) be rolled in powdered sugar a second time once cooled to room temperature.
• NOTE: Forming dough into 1" balls will increase yield to 48 cookies.
