If you're on the ketogenic diet or just looking to lower carbs, making keto snowball cookies from scratch is 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

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Stir in butter until evenly blended. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
