Growing up, my mom and dad have always loved making family traditions for my two little sisters and I. For our birthdays, my mom makes our favorite meals and my dad makes the cake that we request. Then, for Christmas, we make desserts as a family and have a table of yummy treats to snack on throughout the day.
🎅🤶 That family tradition started when I was about 12 years old and honestly, I am a fan. One of my favorite desserts that we would make were snow ball cookies! These keto pecan snow ball cookies, also known as Mexican Wedding Cake cookies, take me back to the good old days. These have instantly become one of my favorite holiday keto cookies! Nutty, buttery, and honestly, addictive! You can’t stop at one.
