Christmas Spice Kabocha Balls

Just in time for Christmas, here is a festive (or not) recipe!

Christmas Spice Kabocha Balls!!

These are tasty little things! With or without the coconut flakes! And very substantial tasting- a dense cookie ball texture. I tried rolling the cookies in erythritol but it didn’t really work. So if you wanted a traditional rolled sugar cookie texture, you might want to use real sugar, brown sugar or etc.
