Easy Keto Mexican Wedding Snowball Cookies
This Keto Cinco de mayo recipe is a must for any Mexican celebration! The cookies get their name from their small white snowball appearance and are typically served at most Mexican weddings. The texture of these cookies is somewhere between a shortbread cookie and a cake. They are light and melt in the mouth crumbly. Gluten-free and Keto, this Cinco de Mayo Keto dessert is the perfect size for a small sweet treat, great for kids or sharing with friends and family. Rosewater is optional but is recommended, as it adds a beautiful delicate flavor. For best results, ensure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before beating. You can substitute the chopped almonds for another nut of choice, walnuts and pecans are also great options. If you don't have powdered erythritol, you can add granulated erythritol (or sweetener of choice) to a blender or food processor and blitz until powdered. Allow the powder to settle before opening the container. This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by substituting butter for coconut oil or a plant-based substitute. Omit the egg and substitute it with a vegan-Keto egg replacer or a flax egg. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge. Moisture in the cookie will cause the powdered erythritol to go patchy, this is normal, simply re-roll in more powdered sugar before serving.
