not sure if you are still fighting with this but for creating a bunch of test users only, I used the awscli as such:

1. Use the sign-up subcommand from cognito-idp to create the user

aws cognito-idp sign-up \
   --region %aws_project_region% \
   --client-id %aws_user_pools_web_client_id% \
   --username %email_address% \
   --password %password% \
   --user-attributes Name=email,Value=%email_address%

2. Confirm the user using admin-confirm-sign-up

aws cognito-idp admin-confirm-sign-up \
--user-pool-id %aws_user_pools_web_client_id% \
--username %email_address%
