Vegan Snowball Cookies (Gluten, Soy, & Nut Free)
Every year, my grandma made snowball cookies for Christmas. She made THE BEST snow ball cookies. After experiencing allergies I made a new recipe that brings back those old lovely memories & tastes super delicious. This recipe can be made free from the top 9 allergens and can be made corn free with substitutions. Makes 24 cookies. Takes about 25 mins to make.
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 24 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup vegan soy free butter, OR homemade(recipe is free from top 8, corn, legumes, and seeds)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups gf cornflakes, OR gf Rice Krispies (if corn free)
- 2 cups all-purpose gf flour, I like using Namaste Flour from Costco —it’s least expensive there
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- optional: allergy friendly red and green sprinkles
Ingredients after baking:
- 1 cup powdered sugar, OR corn free one here, for rolling
- optional: allergy friendly red and green decorating sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Blend butter, sugar, and vanilla.
- In a separate large bowl, crush up the cornflakes into fine crumbs, and mix in the flour, cinnamon, and sprinkles (if desired), till thoroughly combined. You can also skip the cinnamon and instead add in 1/4 cup cocoa powder if you want chocolate flavored snowball cookies!
- Combine dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, till you have a thick dough.
- Shape dough into small 1 inch balls & place onto 2 parchment lined baking sheets.
- Bake @ 350 for 15 min. Turn the cookies over & bake another 5-7 min. till cookies are firm, but not browned.
- Cool cookies for 5 mins, then roll each cookie twice through your powdered sugar/decorating sugar mixture.
- Place finished cookies on racks, till cookies are completely cold and then enjoy or place in a sealed container, for up to 2 weeks.

We have never made cookies like this before so we were pleasantly surprised just how easy they were to make. I used rice crispies and they turned out soft with a slight crunch from the cereal and the powdered sugar just melted in your mouth. My family enjoyed them!
