Ingredients
5 cups Pamela's baking and pancake mix (or your favorite pre-leavened gluten-free baking mix)1 tbsp xanthan gum1/2 cup corn starch1/2 cup coconut flour (could also use almond flour or tapioca starch)1/2 cup shortening, I used spectrum1 medium banana1 cup ripe pear slices (so soft you wouldn't want to eat them works best, I buy these cheap and freeze)1/4 cup dried apricots3/4 cup unsweetened rice milk2 tsp vanilla (mine's imitation)2 tbsp lemon juice2 eggsFilling3-4 cups of dried prunes or figs (both are equally delicious)
Directions
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl (baking mix, corn starch, coconut flour, xantham gum)

Mix wet ingredients, except eggs, and blend well with a mixer or food processor (shortening, banana, pears, apricots, milk, vanilla, lemon juice)

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix. Beat eggs separately and then add them in. Dough should be thick and probably still a bit sticky.

Refrigerate dough for at least a few hours, preferably overnight.

To prepare filling, boil dried fruits in water for about 30 min. Drain them and process to a thick paste.

Use gluten-free flour to coat hands and surfaces for rolling out dough. If the dough is still too sticky, add more baking mix as needed.

Roll out dough to about 3/8" thick and cut out circles of 2-4 inches in diameter. Place a dollop of filling in the center of the circle and fold the edges in on three sides to create a triangle.

Bake these for about 15 min at 375F until just golden brown on the bottom.

Makes about 40 cookies depending on thickness and size.
