Snowball Wedding Cookies
\nVegan Gluten-Free Version
\nThere are many recipes for these classic<\/span>
\nelegant cookies. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

But I prefer these:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span>TWO DIFFERENT RECIPES<\/span><\/strong>
\n*Low-Oil Version Below This Recipe.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

These are so quick and easy to make. And remember<\/span><\/strong>
\nthey’re gluten-free and dairy free. Can be kosher for <\/span><\/strong>
\nPassover if made of almond flour and potato starch.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This recipe will produce 40-50 nice sized cookies.<\/strong><\/span>
\nTraditional Wedding Cookies (Polvorones)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Total: 35 minutes Cook: 9 to 11 min<\/strong><\/span>
\nYield: About 4 dozen cookies<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I keep these low glycemic by putting <\/span>coconut sugar
\nin my coffee grinder. It turns to <\/span>powder in seconds,
\nbut the cookies will be a bit off-white.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can compensate for that by adding colored<\/span>
\nsprinkles or sprinkling with cocoa powder or
\n<\/span>cinnamon. It makes the off-white appear white.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 cup coconut oil, chilled like soft butter
\n(Reduced oil version is below this one)<\/span>
\n1\/2 cup powdered sugar (grind coconut sugar into
\npowder 30-60 seconds in a coffee grinder).<\/span>
\n1-3\/4 cups *almond flour
\n<\/span>1\/2 cup tapioca or potato starch\/flour<\/span>
\n1 teaspoon xanthan gum
\n1\/2 teaspoon baking soda
\n(for passover, baking powder or soda must be certified )<\/span>
\n1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/span>
\n2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract<\/span>
\n1-1\/2 cups finely chopped toasted walnuts or pecans<\/span>
\n(preferably toast nuts for 5 minutes at 350
\nto bring up the flavor). A major enhancement.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

*You can substitute oat flour but not for Passover)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Directions<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In a large bowl, cream coconut oil and confectioners’
\nsugar until light <\/span>and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Combine the
\nflour, tapioca starch, <\/span>xanthan gum and salt; gradually
\nadd to creamed mixture and mix <\/span>well. Stir in walnuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
\nIf your snowball cookies flatten, it’s likely that they<\/span>
\nweren’t chilled for long enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chilling allows the oil to solidify, which in turn helps the
\ncookies maintain their shape while baking.\u00a0 <\/span>Shape into
\n1-inch. balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking
\nsheets.
\n<\/span>
\nPreheat oven to 400\u00b0
\nBake at 400\u00b0 for 9-11 minutes or until set. Cool on pans for 2 <\/span>
\nminutes before removing to wire racks. Roll warm cookies in <\/span>
\nconfectioners’ sugar. Cool completely on wire racks. Reroll <\/span>
\nin confectioners’ sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n
