Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
- 0.5 cup vegetable shortening
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of light brown sugar, and 0.5 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the sugar-butter mixture and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in 3 cups of quick oats by hand, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown. The centers should be soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the cream filling, beat together 0.5 cup vegetable shortening and the jar of marshmallow creme until smooth.
Gradually add 0.75 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the filling mixture, continuing to beat until the filling is fluffy.
Pair up the cooled oatmeal cookies based on size. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of filling on the flat side of one cookie, then top with the other cookie to form a sandwich.
Repeat with remaining cookies and filling. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
