Almond coconut snowball cookies
I just made these almond coconut snowball cookies yesterday since I felt I wanted to eat something sweet and healthy. Since the holiday season is just upon us I also wanted to make something indicative of the holidays so this is what I came up with…they are plain genius!
These almond coconut snowball cookies will take you about 10 minutes to make, that is it. No bake, gluten free, vegan and good for you, what else can you ask for?
I am planning on making a couple more desserts that are typical of the holidays. For sure they are going to be healthy, so not to worry. I have been thinking of some sort of peppermint brownie patties. I want to make it both vegan and gluten free and maybe no bake…will see what I can come up with.
I am really excited about the holidays this year. This time around we are going to go and visit Tennessee which is where my husband is from. I like going there because there are plenty of antique stores I can visit and also relax a little bit since my kids are mostly entertained.
Last year it was my turn to spend Christmas with my family so we went to Vegas to see my brother. This year is my husband’s turn so Tennessee it is!
Well I hope you get to make these almond coconut snowball cookies. They are super easy to make and delicious. If you are looking for something healthy for the holidays look no further, these are a hit.
Until my next recipe…
Enjoy!

How long would they keep in the frig?
I would say at least 5-7 days!
Would I be able to substitute the maple syrup for honey?
For sure!
These cookies sound so delicious and easy to make. I have a granddaughter with celiac so these cookies will be perfect for her! I have a question – how much maple syrup is in the recipe? 1/3 cup? Thank you
Yes sorry, I will correct that!
They look so beautiful!
Almond is such a wonderful, clean flavor.
They look simple and delicious. Love coconut and these would be perfect for the holidays.

Wow! You guys have family all over the country! The lighting in your photos is gorgeous!
These look so great! I make something similar but I use honey, the maple is a genius idea though because almond and maple syrup are an unstoppable combo! These are perfect for gift giving!
What lovely photos! These got me in the Christmas spirit!
So few ingredients…so much flavor!
These look dangerously poppable! And I love the photo of you holding the plate. Gorgeous!
Gorgeous photos and I love the sound of these cookies, so delicious!
Yum! They sound fantastic and I love your pictures!
Awesome recipe. I’m going to make heaps of them for my daugter’s B’day.
Can I keep them in the freezer? If so before coating or after coating?
I have never froze them before but I think you should be able to already coated :-)
do you need to use a food processor?
You can add the ingredients to a bowl and use a spatula. It make take more effort but it can be done!
