Keto Snowball Cookies
If you're on the ketogenic diet or just looking to lower carbs, these keto snowball cookies are a wonderful option for a sweet snack or after-dinner treat. Look for erythritol, which is made by multiple brands, near the sugar substitutes in the baking aisle. —Dawn Parker, Surrey, British Columbia
