Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups quick oatmeal
For the Filling:
- 14 oz marshmallow cream
- 1 cup shortening
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, molasses, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed ingredients, stirring until well combined.
- Fold in the quick oatmeal until evenly distributed.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving plenty of space between each, as they will spread during baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers remain soft. Do not overbake.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a separate bowl, mix the marshmallow cream, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Cream Pies:
- Spread a generous amount of filling on the underside of one cookie and top it with another cookie to form a sandwich.
Notes
Ensure the cookies are fully cooled before adding the filling to prevent it from melting.
