DELICIOUS Keto Snowball Cookies! Low Carb Russian Tea Cookies

[@mountainman.4478]

It's the hap happiest time of the year. Made another 50 Christmas sugar cookies. I live in Florida but have a hunting cabin in Tennessee. I took the cookies with me to the cabin. I was eating a Sugarfree Quest bar. The 5 friends with me said they would never eat that sugar-free crap. I then informed them the Christmas cookies they had been snacking on the last 4 hours where sugar free. Again, I showed them your channel on KZbin. two of the friends confessed they have blood sugar issues. and never knew they could eat real homemade desserts. Merry Christmas.

[@southernketo]

Yes it is! Your story made me smile! It is so cool when you can show people that healthy stuff doesn't have to be nasty. Thank you for sharing my recipes and my channel. 😁 Maybe they'll be believers in healthy low-carb food. Now Santa Claus, I'm not going to be able to help with. Merry Christmas! 😁🎄

My Mom called these cookies pecan sandies. They were supposed to be baked flat, but mom rolled in a ball to bake. I was the cookie/confection sugar in the bag shaker. 🥰🥰 Definitely on my to bake list for Christmas.

I first had these one year when my friend's great uncle Elmer made them..within the family they were known as "Elmer's balls".....yes they are known by many names. Gonna make these and have them with a nice cup of my hot cinnamon tea. Should be awesome. Merry Christmas to you and yours and thank you for all of your hard work. I look forward to the coming year, can't wait to see what you come up with next!

[@justpassinthru]

Yum. One of my favs.. nothing beats homemade vanilla-you get to choose the base-from vodka to bourbon to spiced rum and once made it's pretty much a perpetual producing ingredient... Without having to trap beavers😂. Ina Garten got me started a couple decades ago and I'm still using from the original... I've since learned you can 'rush it up' using the pressure cooker or crock pot for making all kinds of extracts the same way .... And you know everything in them. Thanks for all your hard work and labor of love! Merry Christmas blessings to you and your family!

[@southernketo]

Thank you so much! I really hope you enjoy these if you make them... I'm going to use a double strength neutral spirit for mine. Same as I use for making medicinal herb extractions. I do love a good bourbon vanilla flavor and that would certainly work. One of my awesome viewers is sending me some really special vanilla beans and so I'm going to be filming that in the next couple of days. She sent me a bottle of hers and it is really good, so she's going to teach me what she does and I'll make the video about it. Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄😁

I would love to watch you on how to make vanilla extract ( Beaver Free ).

[@southernketo]

Thank you! Always! 🤣🦫

[@tkmccoywv]

Get some vanilla beans, put them in a jar and cover them with a high proof vodka. And just for the record, vanilla isn't made with beaver goo. It has, in the past, been used in vanilla flavoring, but the price of the stuff is so exorbitant that it isn't feasible. From the All Recipes website: Castoreum is labeled by the FDA as "generally recognized as safe." And because of that, companies aren't legally required to disclose when they use castoreum, often instead referring to it as "natural flavorings" in ingredient lists. But there's a significant chance that you've never had castoreum in your food, and likely never will. Vanilla vs. French Vanilla: What's the Difference? Due to the nature of where it's produced, castoreum is hard to extract and involves anesthetizing the beaver and "milking" its glands. Because of this, according to Fenaroli's Handbook of Flavor Ingredients, only roughly 300 pounds are produced annually. Instead of being put into desserts like baked goods and ice creams, the castoreum is often used in the perfume industry to add sweet scents to products. So it is possible that bottle of artificial vanilla extract contains it, but the odds are very low. Look to your makeup cabinet for the infamous ingredient instead.

[@southernketo]

​@@tkmccoywvthere's a little more to it than that to make a truly great vanilla, but that is the basics.. And yes, it's just good fun, although that used to be the gold standard for artificial vanilla 🤢🦫

[@debraderosa9302]

I made these and they are sooo yummy! It was my 1st time making snowball cookies & this recipe is spot-on. But I was not ready for it to be so labor-intensive! I thought my kitchen-aid would knead the dough [nope] and my cookie scoop must be smaller than the one used in the video because this recipe made 27 small-scoop-sized cookies. I thought I'd never finish rolling them! You didn't warn us that when the cookies are fresh out of the oven they are soft and fall apart when trying to turn them over to see the bottoms [they were the testers]. [Note to self - do NOT use tongs next time!] But once they were a bit cooler, they held together perfectly. I also made the confectioner's keto sweetener. What a great recipe! Just like he says, it compensates for all the shortcomings of allulose [not sweet enough] and erythritol [too bright & sweet]. FYI, the 365 powdered stevia has a perfect-size scoop. I love your recipes! Thanks for another winner! Happy blessed New Year!

[@southernketo]

Awesome! Thank you! 😁 Oh wow! Now for later 😁 Oh yeah! If you got your cooking time right for your oven, you won't have to check them next time. I just use my fingers, but my fingers are tough 🤣 Maybe that's why they don't fall apart 🤣 I'm so glad you like the sweetener. We think it's perfect! I have a lot of good ideas coming up, Hopefully you like them 😁 Happy New Year! 🎊

Well I just made these cookies Victor and they are delicious. I tweaked the recipe a bit. I doubled the cinnamon, and I melted the butter because it was easier creating a more malleable dough ball. I saved a tablespoon of pecans and blitzed them until fine. Mixed them in with some powdered sweetener. I rolled the cookies in powdered sweetener first, then powdered sweetener + pecans, then powdered sweetener again. Definitely saving the recipe and making again. 👍👍
