Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 30 servings

Cookies:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 cup butter

  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon molasses

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats

Filling:

  • 2 teaspoons hot water

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow cream

  • ½ cup shortening

  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar

  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Combine flour, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl.

  3. Combine butter, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, molasses, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a separate bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Stir in flour mixture until dough comes together. Stir in oats.

  4. Drop cookie dough onto the lined baking sheets, a few inches apart, using a 2-teaspoon cookie scoop.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are starting to brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  6. Stir hot water and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl until salt is dissolved. Let cool, about 5 minutes.

  7. Combine marshmallow cream, shortening, confectioners' sugar, 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Mix in cooled salt water.

  8. Spread some of the filling on the back of 1 cooled cookie. Add another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining filling and cookies.

Cook's Note:

Cookies will look moist so be sure not to overbake!
