These are really good cookies! I was looking for something fast as my son was having a play date after school. I am trying to clean out my pantry as we are moving as well. I used part shortening for the butter about 1/3 c to finish it up, used brown sugar for the white, baking powder for the soda as I had Dutch processed cocoa not baking, I also added 1 tsp espresso powder. I chilled in the freezer for about 30 minutes, used my purple scoop and got 39 cookies, flattened with a glass dipped in sugar, 12 minutes on Silpat lined sheets was perfect. Slightly crunchy edges with a soft, cakey center, would definitely be great for whoopie pies.

I made these healthier by using 2 1/4 c whole wheat flour, 5/8 c brown sugar, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, omitted salt, 3 small carrots grated, 2 large apples grated, omitted raisins, coconut and walnuts since I didn't have any, 2 eggs, 1/2 c apple juice, 1/2 c melted butter and 1 tsp vanilla, made 18 good sized muffins that baked in 20 minutes.
