Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies
If you love peanut butter, and I'm sure you do, this is a low carb Christmas cookie you won't want to miss. The filling is peanut butter buttercream frosting in between 2 thick cookies, making it a whopping desire for a whoopie pie.
A whoopie pie, traditionally, is any 2 cookies with cream in between. I think peanut butter was a wise choice.
