Ingredients
For the Oatmeal Cookies:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tbsp molasses
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
For the Cream Filling:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, molasses, and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the oats.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the cream filling. In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Add the marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, and beat until light and fluffy.
- Once the cookies have cooled, spread a generous amount of cream filling on the bottom of one 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.
Notes
Use room temperature butter and eggs for best results.
Make sure the cookies are completely cooled before adding the filling to avoid melting.
For thicker or thinner cream filling, adjust powdered sugar or milk as needed.
