🌰 Weight Watchers Pecan Snowball Cookies

Ingredients (Makes about 24 cookies)

• 1 cup finely chopped pecans
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ cup light butter (or reduced-fat butter spread)
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dough)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix flour and salt.
3. In another bowl, cream together light butter and 2 tbsp powdered sugar until smooth.
4. Add vanilla extract.
5. Gradually mix in flour mixture.
6. Stir in chopped pecans.
7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet.
8. Bake 10–12 minutes (bottoms lightly golden).
9. Let cool slightly, then roll warm cookies in powdered sugar.
10. Once fully cooled, roll again for that classic “snowball” look.

💡 WW Points (estimated)

• About 2–3 points per cookie (depending on your plan and exact butter used).

🔥 To Make Them Even Lower Points:

• Replace half the butter with unsweetened applesauce.
• Use monk fruit powdered sweetener instead of powdered sugar.
• Finely grind pecans so you use slightly less while keeping flavor.
