Main Ingredients

  • ¾ cup white, spelt, or oat flour your choice
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Get your pressure cooker ready with the sealing ring in place and filled with an inch or two of water on the bottom. Use a trivet if needed.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder and powdered sugar until blended.
  • Add the chopped nuts and mini chips, stir to distribute evenly.
  • Mix in butter or coconut oil using hands or spoon until dough forms a slightly sticky ball.
  • Roll dough into small snowball-sized shapes and place about an inch apart on parchment-lined heatproof plates or silicone mats.
  • Carefully place plates on trivet inside pressure cooker. Seal lid and set valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • Allow natural release. When pressure drops, open lid carefully.
  • Let cookies cool slightly then roll in extra powdered sugar for that classic snowy look, if desired.

Notes

Store in airtight container at room temp for 4 days, refrigerate for a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Let cold cookies come to room temp before enjoying for best texture.
