    Blissful Maple Cream Sandwich Cookies

    8
    By Alisa Fleming on March 28, 2013 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Can you believe I almost let Maple Syrup Month slip by without a recipe feature? To remedy the situation, I’ve taken some delicious Lucy’s maple cookies (allergy-friendly!), whipped up a quick and creamy maple frosting, and married the two into one sweet treat. You can see the full recipe below.

    Sandwich Maple Cookies - Allergy-Friendly, Vegan, Gluten-Free

    Like crunchy little pancakes, Lucy’s Maple Bliss cookies burst with maple syrup flavor. However, I find them gently sweet and earthy, so they pair nicely with a more indulgent maple frosting. I also like that Lucy’s cookies are gluten-free and dairy-free (actually top eight allergen-free and vegan, too), and it doesn’t hurt that they are just 40 calories per cookie – to offset the frosting, right?

    Sandwich Maple Cookies - Allergy-Friendly, Vegan, Gluten-Free

    Want a healthier but still allergy-friendly treat with those maple cookies? Grab some sunflower seed butter, and whisk in a pinch of salt (if it is unsalted) followed by a drizzle or two of pure maple syrup. Add just enough to get the sweet maple flavor that you desire. Generously slather on top of one Lucy’s Maple Bliss cookie, and then sandwich it with a second, making sure to give the filling a nice squish. Or enjoy them open-faced.

    In honor Maple Syrup month, I also have a few fun facts:

    • Maple syrup is produced from the sap of the Sugar Maple tree, which is grown in the northern United States and in Canada.
    • Maple sap is clear and watery, with only 2 to 4% sugar. For that reason, it takes 30 to 50 gallons of sap to make one gallon of maple syrup – no wonder that stuff is so pricey!
    • Maple syrup actually has a season – they tap the trees from late February through March.

    This makes enough frosting to enjoy one box of the maple cookies open-faced, or two boxes if making sandwich cookies.
    Author: Alisa Fleming
    Serves: About 15 sandwich or open-faced cookies
    Ingredients
    • 2 tablespoons non-hydrogenated shortening (I use Spectrum Palm Shortening - Original or Butter Flavor)
    • 1 tablespoon + ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup
    • Generous pinch salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
    • ½ teaspoon non-dairy milk alternative, or as needed
    • 1 to 2 boxes Lucy's Gluten-Free Maple Bliss Cookies
    Instructions
    1. In a small bowl, whisk together the shortening, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla, until smooth.
    2. Slowly whisk in the powdered sugar, until smooth - it should be quite thick.
    3. If desired, whisk in a little non-dairy milk alternative (I use ½ teaspoon) to get the right consistency.
    4. Frost one cookie, then top with a second if making sandwich cookies, or simply frost all of the cookies and dig in!

      Where can I buy these Blissful Maple Creme Sandwich Cookies? I bought the Maple Creme cookies at Dollar Tree but they don’t always have them. I live in Dallas, Texas 75251. Are these Blissful Maple Cream Sandwich Cookies the same as the Maple Creme cookies? Please let me know where I can get them in Dallas Texas or I can I order them from you?

        It’s a recipe, using allergy-friendly maple cookies with a quick homemade maple filling.

      Hi,

      Can’t wait to make these cookies. Can you recommend another option besides the shortening? I have non dairy cream cheese would that work? Any other ideas?
      Thanks,
      Patti

        Non-dairy cream cheese alternative would be tasty, but the consistency would be a touch different. Give it a go! Dairy-free margarine is another option. Cocoa butter or coconut oil may also work, but cocoa butter would make it more solid, while coconut would be softer.

      I think Lucy’s may contain soy and not be completely Top 8 free. ??? But I could be wrong.

      I had no idea there was an entire month devoted to maple syrup! How fun. I love sandwich cookies and these look super scrumptious. 🙂
