Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup shortening
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and molasses to the butter mixture, and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to create the cookie dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the cream filling: in a medium bowl, beat together the shortening, powdered sugar, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Spread a generous layer of the cream filling onto the bottom side of one cooled cookie, then top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
Store the oatmeal cream pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
