Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the molasses and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Slowly combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, then fold in the oats until evenly mixed.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely before filling.
- To make the filling, beat the butter until smooth, then mix in the powdered sugar, marshmallow creme, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until fluffy.
- Spread or pipe the filling onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
- Chill the cream pies for about 15 minutes before serving so the filling sets properly.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for the chewiest texture.
- If the dough feels too soft, chill it for 20 minutes before baking.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze individually wrapped for up to 2 months.
- Let refrigerated cookies sit at room temperature before serving for the best texture.
- Add mini chocolate chips or pumpkin spice for flavor variations.
