SHOPPING LIST
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
3⁄4 cup sugar substitute
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup almond flour or meal
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1⁄3 cup chopped pecans
FILLING
3 tablespoons butter, softened
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1⁄2 cup sugar substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Preheat oven to 350F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2 Place cream cheese, butter, sugar substitute, egg, and vanilla extract in an electric mixer and beat on high until fluffy.
3 Add the almond flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and pecans, and beat on medium, just until all is combined into a thin dough.
4 Using a spoon or a 1-ounce ice cream scoop, drop 16 evenly spaced dollops of the dough onto the prepared sheet pan and press down lightly to flatten.
5 Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until cookies are springy in the center. Let cool at least 15 minutes.
6 Meanwhile, beat all Filling ingredients in an electric mixer on high until well combined.
7 Spread a thick layer of the Filling in between 2 finished cookies to make a Whoopie Pie. Repeat with all remaining cookies. Chill at least 4 hours before serving.
HELPFUL HINTS
You can make your own pumpkin pie spice by mixing 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 3 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon allspice. Only use 1⁄2 teaspoon of the finished spice in this recipe though!Recipe
