Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine all the dry ingredients into a medium size mixing bowl.
- In a separate, small mixing bowl mix the palm shortening, pumpkin puree and maple syrup.
- Add the shortening mixture to the dry ingredients then stir to combine.
- Using spoons or a cookie scoop, make 12 dough balls and place them at least 3 inches apart on the baking sheet. The dough will spread into round cookies and they need room to grow.
- Place the tray into the oven for about 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely before assembling the whoopie pies.
- While the cookies are cooling, create the filling/frosting by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl. Then using a hand mixer, blend until smooth.
- To assemble the whoopie pies, place a dollop of frosting on a cookie and then place another cookie on top of the frosting. Repeat until all the cookies are used. Then serve immediately.
Notes
The AIP/Paleo glaze won’t harden in warmer temperature or climates. // If you want to make muffins or cupcakes with this recipe, add to 6-8 muffin tins and bake for about 15 minutes. // You’re welcome to skip the frosting and just enjoy the cookies. They taste like pumpkin spice sugar cookies but with the texture of a muffin top. // Store on the counter or in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Best if eaten the day of baking but must be eaten within 2-3 days.
