For this recipe, we use almond flour to provide the bulk in the cookie part. The filling is made with cream cheese and pecans. Doesn’t it sound so fall-like?

Can I use a whoopie pie baking sheet instead? When you say use a teaspoon are the balls supposed to flattened or will they flatten on their own? should I just place the ball onto the center of the whoopie pie sheet? How many net carbs is this recipe approximately per whoopie pie?
Thank you! Can’t wait to try this recipe out.
You can totally use a whoopie pie baking sheet! The balls will need to be flattened and made into circles. Unfortunately, the nutrition calculator I use does not accurately give information for Swerve or almond flour – so I can’t answer how many net carbs are in this recipe.
