4 easy steps  to make Grain-Free Snowball Cookies

The grain-free cookie dough is made with protein and fibre-packed almond flour. The flour is mixed with powdered sugar, a hint of cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Then the soft butter and vanilla are added, and everything is mixed until combined forming a dough.

Chill the dough for a few minutes and then shape into small balls about walnuts’ size – nothing to them. The cookie dough is very easy to work with.

This gluten-free cookie is baked at a low temperature of 325 Fahrenheit for about 16 – 18 minutes. The cookie may crack slightly, but this cookie is not about how pretty and perfect it looks, it is about but how delicious it tastes.

To make the snow like coating, mix a little powdered sugar with a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavour. The cookies are then dusted with the snow like coating. This is why I called them Snowball Cookies because the powdered sugar reminds me of snow. 

gluten-free cookies for a gift box

Whenever I make a cookie gift box filled with cookies, these Grain-Free Snowball Cookies are always included. Other gluten-free cookies I may add are the Healthier Gluten-Free Snickerdoodle Cookies, Gluten-Free Thumbprint Cookies, and the Gluten-Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies.
