Cooking time: 12 minutes
Serving Size: 12 servings
Ingredients
Cookies:
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup shortening
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp molasses
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups quick oats
Filling:
- 1 tbsp hot water
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow crème
- ½ cup shortening
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheets.
- In a bowl or standing mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, shortening, brown sugar, sugar, molasses, vanilla extract, and eggs.
- Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing well. Then, stir in the oats.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350°F.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on a wire baking rack to avoid burning the bottoms.
Filling:
- Dissolve the salt in the hot water and set aside to cool.
- Using a whisk attachment, combine the marshmallow crème, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy.
- Add the cooled salt water and mix well.
- Spread the filling onto one side of the cookies, then top with another cookie to create a sandwich. For a cleaner look, use a piping bag to pipe a small circle of filling onto the cookie.
- Serve your oatmeal cream pie cookies and enjoy!
