It is sure to please all the guests at your next holiday gathering.Gluten-free snowball cookies are one of my favorite cookies to make each year. Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved the delicately sweet flavor of these cookies. The almonds add a great nuttiness that gives them even more depth of flavor. You may know them as Mexican wedding cookies, meltaways or snowball cookies. Whatever you call them, they are a delicious treat that is beloved by many.
The great thing about these gluten-free snowball cookies is that they are also pretty simple to make. They are great at parties and gatherings because they look so festive. I like to add extra powdered sugar for a freshly fallen snow look. Be sure to whip up some of our frozen hot chocolate for a tasty drink with your cookies! Or if you want some other tasty cookies to serve with these, our peanut butter reindeer cookies are the easiest thing ever and so delicious.

We love their seasoned flour mix. In fact, it made our coconut shrimp taste so good that it’s been pinned over a 1,000 times on Pinterest.
